Reduced-calibre missile - has piston actuated by propellant gases and freeing driving disc spring locking catches

摘要

The reduced-calibre missile has the central part enclosed by a segmented guide ring, while a driving disc is fixed to its rear end by detachable locking devices. The devices (6) are released by the effect of the propellant gases, there being inside the disc (9) a piston (11) on which these act. The missile (1) has, behind a stop ring (16), spring-loaded locking catches (6) engaging in the disc, and which are freed by the piston.
