Rocket attacks in Afghanistan

[Infanteer]

Can anyone direct me to a site where I can find some detail photos of the rockets currently being fired at Kandahar Airfield by the Taliban? On my last tour one impacted about 100 meters from where I was standing and I found a couple of small fragments after the EOD team cleaned up that I believe might be fragments from the fuze. One piece is aluminum and the other is bakelite.

The most common rockets in use are the Chinese 107mm's, try FAS.org or Global Security.

Thanks for the photos. At least this gives me someplace to start. Any details on the fuses for these rockets?

Here you go. The last two are used in the OG-7V HE rocket fired from the RPG-7. I've seen the 107mm with a fuze similar to number 3.

Sweet! Thank you very much. The body on the MP-1B fuze is the same color as the piece of bakelite that I found and I've just read that they are also used by the Chinese. Interesting stuff. I think I have found the culprit....

Your are welcome! Here is the Chinese fuze for the RPG.

The fuze your picture showed isn't the fuze for the RPG,but for 82mm mortar.
It's named "type 2 mortar",copyed from soivet mortar fuze "M-6".
