ABSTRACT:
A missile to be fired from a barrel contains a tail, a tail sleeve attached to the tail, a stop element fixed to the tail sleeve, and a movable structural part disposed at the tail. Fin assembly wings are provided and are to be released from a subcaliber launch position to an overcaliber functional position by the movable structural part moving toward the stop element through a given distance. A pressure area is disposed between the tail end surface and the movable structural part. A propellant gas enters the pressure area during the firing of the missile, for moving the movable structural part away from the tail end surface against the stop element after firing. Bearing shafts are supported by the tail sleeve, the fin assembly wings are configured as a wrap around tail fin assembly held about the bearing shafts.
