Egyptian Sakr-45 122mm Rocket Specifications The Sakr-45 122 mm rocket is a Delta IV type rocket produced by the Sakr factory. This rocket is specially made to contain high explosive power, so it can significantly damage the target.
Since its inception in 1953, Sakr has produced several rocket variants including -18, -36 and -45 variants with effective ranges of 17, 31 and 42 kilometers respectively. The Sakr-10 and Sakr-18 models have the appearance of folding fins. Whereas the Sakr-36 and Sakr-45 have a shape like a straight fin that can accommodate quite a lot of explosives.
For Sakr-45 itself can accommodate up to 98 sub ammunition. Therefore, this one rocket has the most explosive capacity when compared to the product variants ever made by Sakr Egypt. Despite having more payload, this 122 mm Sakr-45 variant is slim and simple. Even so simple, this rocket can be installed on light vehicles or ordinary armored vehicles.
