I have a Soviet S-5M manual that has cutaways of that weapon, yeah, I know, HE not HEAT. Have you tried googling S-5K in Russian?

 

[microplastic]

Yes, I used Google and Yandex, absolutely nothing, as if this rocket had never existed before

CAT UXO has a cutaway, albeit not a great one...

Actually, they had a better one of the S-5KO with the frag sleeve over the shaped charge (Russian - "Cumulative") warhead

Very nice, as I've only get official data on the S-5M. Is the rest of the scanned original Soviet/Russian manual available? Just scanned pages (aka images) are OK, as I can clean them up, OCR them and then make a PDF of the manual. If the manual is a PDF, DJVU or EPUB file, that saves me a lot of work.

I do not have all pages from this book. I have pages with description of three type of S-5 rockets. Name of the book is unknown.

That's a shame. I guess it's part of an overall Soviet-era publication on aerial weapons, that or aerial rockets. Must be relatively old as it's the S-5K and not the later S-5K1 version.

It is shame, I agree with you. Shame do not add cutway to manual. Would be interesting to see full book, it should be air forces manual. I added description of the rocket.
