68mm SNEB - Details

Hello together!

I'm looking for details about the warheads (HEAT, HE-FRAG), folding fin assembly and motor propelant design of the 68mm SNEB rocket.
I'm interested in detail pictures, technical information, drawings, sketches etc.

Right now I have just some information out of the "Iraq Ordnance Guide" about the war heads and some information from wikipedia..;-(

Regarding the fin assembly I'm not really understand, how the fins are locked in place after the rocket is fired. On the 68mm SNEB motor tube with the folding fin part I own, I can't find any type of locking mechanism. Maybe someone can explain the function of it.

Thx in advance

Rocketfan.
 
Hello to the BOCN members. I just wanted to show you why I'm looking for information: I will build a mockup HEAT warhead to complete my original SNEB rocket motor body.
You will find in my blog a short summary with pictures of my progress...

All the best

These are photos of the original SNEB 68mm used by the Israeli Air force in the sixties - among other details, the fin is quite different from your model

What you do have is in fact a later model called FFAR SNEB 68mm F1 - These are the details documents about it and its warheads and fuzes:
