Fuze V5-K

for 57mm Unguided Rockets S-5

V-5K is a mechanical, nose, point-detonating fuze with super quick action. The fuze features distant arming.
The fuze V-5K completes 57 mm High Explosive and Hollow Charge unguided rockets S-5K, S-5KO, S-5KOV and S-5MO, launched from UB-16 and UB-32 aircraft rocket pods.

The fuze is safe in storage, handling and operation and ensures the safe and reliable function of the ammunition in all weather conditions.

DISTANT ARMING
