S-24 rocket

The Soviet Union was an enthusiastic user of rocket weapons, employing them as early as the 1930s.

The S-24/S-24B is a very large, powerful unguided weapon and one of a handful of successors to the earlier World War II-era BETAB-750DS rockets.

[1] The S-24B differs from the S-24 in that it uses BN-K low smoke motor powder for a low-smoke flight.

[2][3][4] The S-24 is 2.33 metres (7 ft 8 in) long, with a launch weight of 235 kg (520 lb).

Proximity fuze RV-24 is also available, in which the warhead detonate 3 meters above ground, creating 300–400 m radius of fragmentation casualty zone.
