ABSTRACT:
The warhead comprises a preliminary shaped charge, a coaxial main shaped charge which is arranged at a distance from the latter, and an arrangement for increasing the axial distance between the preliminary shaped charge and the main shaped charge, which arrangement consists of a tube, in which the preliminary shaped charge is supported, a propelling charge, which is arranged behind the preliminary shaped charge, and a supporting device for the tube. The preliminary shaped charge is held in the tube by means of one or more shearing pins, wherein both the tube and the supporting device are provided in the ogive portion of the warhead with a cooperating catch device, so that the tube can be moved from the moved-in rest position into a moved-out working position after the ignition of the propelling charge for the preliminary shaped charge and can be caught in that position.
