Hi guys,

I'm here with two pictures of a projectile founded on an Estonian beach.
I've no more info that this two pictures. On the second one, the graduated ruler gives an approximate idea of the dimensions.The tail of the projectile resembles a mortar tail but there is no trace of wings.

Someone an idea ?

Radar reflector ?

It certainly looks possible, but you have several locations in both the first set of photos and second which look as though they had lightweight explosive or pyrotechnic discharge. Anything suggest why? Deployment of any components perhaps?

Another EOD Tech proposed this idea : "Decoy rocket / target aim for CIWS maybe !? "
Should it be possible ?

I'm sure it is possible, but there would be a lot of safety concerns in regard to CIWS. Decoy rocket is an interesting thought.
