ABSTRACT:
A plurality of warheads are disposed for ejection one behind the other, axially in a load-carrying missile with slave missiles disposed in firing tubes and parachutes connected to the warheads and causing their directional, braked descent in the target area. Proximity fuses cause the firing of the slave missiles. Each warhead consists of a firing tube which is open at both ends and in which two slave missiles are disposed with a common propellant charge between them. A parachute of each of the warheads is secured to the firing tube intermediate its length.
