106 Air-to-Ground Weapons
S-13 Rocket
The S-13 is a 132mm, unguided rocket placed in the five-round B-13 rocket pod. It
is effective against fortified installations and hardened facilities (fixed
emplacements, bunkers, hardened aircraft shelters, and runways). These unguided
rockets can be fitted with warheads of various types. The concrete-piercing
warhead can penetrate 3 m of ground cover or 1 m of reinforced concrete. The S-
13 has an effective range of 3000 m.
The S-13T variant carries a two-stage penetrating warhead which detonates inside
the target after piercing the protective covering (up to 6 m of ground cover or up
to 2 m of reinforced concrete). When the rocket hits a runway, it damages an area
of about 20 square meters. The blast-fragmentation warhead of the S-13OF
version produces about 450 fragments weighing 25–35 grams each, effective
against lightly armored vehicles.
S-24 Rocket
The S-24 is a large-caliber (240mm), unguided rocket fitted with a powerful, solidfuel
rocket motor. The motor operates for 1.1 seconds, accelerating the rocket and
providing a stabilizing spin. The S-24 rocket can be fitted with a blast fragmentation
warhead containing 23.5 kg of high explosive. The body of the warhead is
perforated and offers special induction hardening that provides very even
fragmentation. After detonation, the body breaks up into 4000 fragments having
an effective radius of 300–400 m.
The rocket is usually fitted with a proximity fuse, detonating over the target at an
altitude of about 30 m. To destroy hardened targets, the S-24 may carry a delayafter-impact
fuse. The warhead housed into a strong casing pierces the covering of
the target and detonates inside.
S-25 Rocket
The S-25 is a super-heavy unguided rocket housed in an expendable container.
Inside its container, the rocket’s four stabilizer fins are folded between four
skewed jet nozzles providing stabilization spin-up.
There are several versions of the S-25 rocket in service with varying warheads
effective against different target types. The S-25-O, fitted with a fragmentation
warhead and a radio-proximity fuse, is effective against personnel, transport,
parked aircraft, and other soft targets. The S-25-OF, with a blast-fragmentation
warhead, destroys lightly armored vehicles, buildings, and personnel. The
S-25-OFM has a modernized, strengthened penetrating warhead, which is
effective against hardened facilities and warehouses, shelters, and other protected
targets. The S-25 has an effective range of 2000 m with a margin of error of about
0.3% of launch range (rockets fired at a maximum of 2000 m will land within a 6
m diameter).
