Abstract
The present invention relates to a tandem warhead with a secondary projectile. An explosives gas protector shields the secondary projectile with respect to a hollow charge located in front of the secondary projectile, and wherein the housing possesses a conical section having a tubular segment of smaller diameter arranged thereon, whereby a bottom is provided on the tubular section which opposite the hollow charge has the secondary projectile smaller in caliber and at its circumference includes a screwthread into which there engages a screwthread of the tubular section, and whereby the secondary projectile contacts against the bottom under prestressing. The gas protector is located in a wedge-shaped annular space which is formed by the conical section of the housing and by means of the secondary projectile which projects from the tubular section into this annular space, and which seals the secondary projectile upon encountered gases of detonation with regard to the tubular section, and whereby the gas protector is constituted of a compressible material.
