Special apparatus for deliberately destroying rotor blades of flying, enemy military helicopters

摘要

The present invention relates to a special apparatus by means of which, without using units which fire projectiles, the rotor blades of flying, enemy, military helicopters can be destroyed, and the aircraft caused to crash, in a simple and cost-effective manner. The deliberate destruction of the rotor blades without which flight is not possible at all is carried out via linked arms which are intrinsically stiff, are fastened in an articulated manner, extend a long distance laterally, originate from an annular, solid base holder and are fitted with a number of relatively small but very highly effective explosive bodies. As a result of the articulated connections of the linked arms, which extend in the form of rays, on their base holder, they can be bundled. Once this bundle has been released, they extend under the influence of spring force until they are flat in the horizontal direction and assume a position there analogous to the rotor blades. The apparatuses, which are constructed such that they search for targets, are ejected in bundled fashion from dedicated, overflying aircraft and immediately spread on contact with the blades which rotate with the normal flapping movements. A fuze mechanism which is located between the linked arms triggers them only in their fully extended spread state and leads to the detonation of the explosive bodies and thus to the destruction of the rotor blades.
