Can I ask 2 questions on the Valkiri-22 Mk1, that was used in combat in the 80s in Angola, especially in the conventional warfare operation "Moduler":
1. Were airburst proximity fuzes used for the Valkiri rockets in the 80s?
2. Did the rockets already have a smokeless propellant that leaves no smoke trail?
Thank you!

Sorry for the late reply prox fuse was mostly used on these and prefragmentated bombs were standard
The prefrag was made up of valley bearings cast into the bomb
The fragmentation spread was is very good and this became know as a very effective weapon much more so than the soviet by 21

the SADF was superior to the soviets

Cloned from Soviet BM21 with larger calibre!
