BR.1050 Alizé weapons

[+ravenclaw_007 7,631]

i made some very exhausting research about the weapon loaded on the 3 pictures below , until now i have no clue what rocket this is
it is definitely not a 5 inch HVAR (127mm Rocket ) if you look on the hands from the man loading the weapon you can see that they grab more than the half diameter of the rocket body , if you look on the single picture with man loading 5 inch HVAR to a F-4 Corsair you will see that they only grap up to the half of the rocket diameter
i think that this mystery rocket is about 90mm in diameter or about 3,5 inch , the US Navy used 3,5 inch ASM rockets from 1943 to 1945 but i have no clue if the french adopted this weapon or not

 

if anybody has an idea what kind of rocket that is please let me know

Nord Aviation AS.12

 

Matra T-10 105mm warhead , single and twin mount

 

5inch HVAR ( 127 mm rocket )

 

5inch RAM , dont know if the french used them

the larger, pointy nosed ones being loading on the Corsair are 'ram rockets', modifications of the 5" HVAR, with an armor piercing shaped charge nose.

They were especially designed to counter the Soviet T-34s being used by the North Koreans. IIRC, they used a standard HVAR rocket section, with the different warhead.

I'll scout around in some of my books, and see what I can come up with

Awesome Work as usual Volker ... I've made lot of research about these rockets but without success

 

A good link I've found about the Nord Aviation SS.11 SS.12 AS.12 Family

Kevin if you find a picture showing the lettering on the RAM warhead that would be great , i searched the net but i could not find any good picture showing the lettering
