Katyusha

[sigatoka]

I understand that cubing explosive quantity only doubles explosive power, however I just saw on tv a Katyusha exploding and it was huge. It took out half a building.

How much explosives do they pack into each? 30kg or so?

later versions can be loaded with 80kg explosives!

The rockets of the type Hizbullah fires at Afula, and of the type that landed near Jenin, are produced by the Syrians based on the Fajr-5. Its range is improved from 75 kilometers (46.2 miles) to 100 kilometers (62.1 miles). The missile contains 80 kilograms (176 pounds) of explosive material.
