Abstract
A missile includes, as viewed successively in flight direction, a booster, a folded drag chute in a parachute housing, a cruise engine and a warhead. The booster is detachable from the drag chute before the opening of the drag chute and the drag chute is detachable from the cruise engine upon the activation of said cruise engine. The drag chute is accommodated in a parachute housing that is closed toward the booster and is open toward the cruise engine to which the booster is connected via a positive locking releasable due to axial tensile force. A separating charge for detaching the booster from the parachute housing is arranged between the booster and the base of the parachute housing at the booster side. The booster is connected to the parachute housing via a mechanical parachute release mechanism for releasing the drag chute from the parachute housing with a delay in comparison to the ignition of the separating charge.
