Abstract
Flown munition that is rocket-propelled for hitting a target behind a barrier, and which comprises a rocket motor; and a successive payload that is mounted behind the rocket motor in a tandem configuration and is towed by it; and wherein the rocket motor is used for accelerating the munition towards the barrier and also serves as a sort of kinetic penetrator to clear a passage through the barrier for the successive pay load, which is connected to it and towed by it, and the successive payload (e.g.—a high-explosive charge) is adapted for delayed detonation following and just after said rocket motor hits the barrier.
