Hey I am curious if anyone knows the weight of the 68MM-SNEB rocket and the 22-round pod for the Tiger Helicopter.

SNEB 68MM Specs
Range: 1.6km
Warhead: 15 lb.
Speed: 450 m/s
Motor Weight: 31 kg
Round up Weight: ???

I know the Tiger UHU will be carrying this along with Trigat LR and HOT-3 missiles. Thats the German version. The HAP has the gun and is the French version and the HAC is a French version without the gun. I am curious why only 1 version is carrying the gun? Guns are essential for helicopters especially since they operate so low. You never know when a few psychos with a MANPAD or an RPG are going to pop up that you can wax with a gun.

After I found that I did some more research and I think that sneb 68mm is more of a category of rockets than a specific model. That means many different people make the rocket so the weight could vary I guess.

I am looking for the SNEB 68MM in general. There are many types of 70MM rox too FFAR, Hydra, etc.

6.8 kg (15 pounds)

That's just the warhead I think because look underneath it:

All versions of this air-to-surface unguided rocket are powered by the same 31 kg rocket motor which gives a velocity of 450 m/s at burn-out.


If the motor weighs 31 kg then 15 lb. has to be the warhead weight, which I have entered.
