The invention relates to warheads including a core-generating charge and rotating about an axis which is not the charge axis. In front of the coating of the charge is positioned a wedge with a straight or curved triangular cross section, for slowing down said coating in a non-isotropic manner. The wedge is further destroyed during the formation of the core.

Core-generating charge with means for correcting entrainment rotation

An explosive device with a hollow charge of the type including a main warhead with a wave shaper and a primary warhead for the penetration of active primary armor. The primary warhead comprises a hollow charge provided at the apex of the main warhead and separated from the latter by wave transmitting means in the form of a third hollow charge placed inverted relative to the other two hollow charges, the primary warhead also acting as a wave shaper for the main warhead.
