A crew of specialists from Ukraine’s Artem and the State Analysis Institute of Chemical Merchandise have efficiently examined the air-fuelled explosive warhead. The warhead is ‘fitted with a thermobaric combination that has a detrimental oxygen stability’. Throughout combustion, the temperature of the rocket can exceed 1,500°C. The corporate reported that the warhead has a blast zone with a 4m to 5m radius. Moreover, a pointy stress drop happens throughout the warhead’s combustion. The shock wave produced by the rocket is efficient in opposition to each indoor and outside targets. The check outcomes proved that the warhead is appropriate for each unguided weapons and guided rockets.
The RS-80 unguided air-fuelled warhead is an upgraded model of the S-8KOM unguided rocket. The RS-80 is designed to destroy hostile armoured, flippantly armoured, and non-armoured fight tools and enemy manpower. Along with the primary thermobaric cost, the warhead additionally contains a shock core. This enables the warhead to destroy flippantly armoured autos (LAVs), partitions and shelters, as much as 40mm of homogeneous armour, and as much as 200mm of bolstered concrete. Additionally it is able to penetrating as much as 500mm of brick. The RS-80 unguided rocket is provided with a platter cost and was put via the primary levels of prototype testing.

Artem Efficiently Assessments RS-80 Air-fuelled Warhead Unguided Plane Rocket Prototype
Because of the rise of warhead weight from 3.6 to 4.6 kg, the rocket can penetrate 400 mm of armor on the launch vary of 1.2 – 4 km. So as to broaden the boundaries of efficient use and unification of modifications with Artem foresees the tools of RS-80 with varied fight parts and detonators. The tools of this rocket with beam and HE-fragmentation warhead with a programmed fuze offers the chance to explode the rocket whereas within the air, a number of meters away from the goal. This modification was developed for combating UAVs, as a part of the surface-to-air rocket system. The destruction vary of air targets – as much as 4 km, floor targets – as much as 7 km.
