weapons not in encyclopedia

[tonym]

Can anyone tell me what the following are, they aren't listed under weapons.

A42,B820A, and UB-13.Thanks in anticipation of help.

The encyclopedia weapons are the projectiles so the 2A42 cannon and the UB-13 gun pod are weapons systems. If the projectiles for these weapons were in the encyclopedia they would be the 30mm and (25?)mm rounds respectively.

 

Similarly the B-series rocket pod is a pod. The S-8 rockets are listed.

Wanted some info myself so I looked it up.

As per flight manual (newest manual 534 pages):

 

2А42 : cannon (30mm)

220 API, armor-piercing incendiary

240 HE, high-explosive

 

(manual page 35)

 

 

B-8V20A (B8) launcher : S-­8 rocket launcher (80mm)

* S-­8KOM rocket

* S-­8OFP1 (S-­8M) rocket

* S-80 & S-­8OM rocket (illumination)

* S-­8TsM rocket (smoke marker)

UB-13 launcher : S-13 rocket launcher (122mm)

* S-­13OF unguided rocket

 

(see more info on S-8, S-13 rockets on manual pages 44-48)

 

 

 

Just pointing out that the external gunpods are UPK-23 not UB-13

 

UPK-23 : UPK-23 gunpods, (twin 23mm)

250 rounds

 

(manual page 38, 169)
