Abstract
The development of high-precision ammunition, which operates on the principle of «discovered and destroyed armored vehicles» – is one of the areas of improving the arsenal of ammunition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In the development of these weapon of destruction there is the development of homing and self-aiming warheads, which can be equipped not only with artillery, jet, engineering ammunition, but also warheads of tactical and operational-tactical missiles, means of destroying strike unmanned aerial vehicles. Ammunition is optimized to hit a very wide range of targets (launchers, artillery systems, tanks and other armored vehicles) and allow to effectively conduct fire defeat of the enemy during various types of combat operations. The article considers the principle of operation, general design and classification of means of destruction and ammunition using a shock nucleus, which are currently used in the armies of advanced countries. The main characteristics and possibilities of application of these means of defeat are analyzed. Recommendations are being developed for the development of these weapons of destruction in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the increase of their combat effectiveness, their use in the use of strike unmanned aerial vehicles or the use of these weapons of destruction as «kamikaze» drones. Keywords: projectile-forming charge, explosive, striking element, warhead, cumulative charge, cumulative facing, target coordinator, cumulative jet, self-aiming warhead, homing warheads.
