What happens when a Sea Dart booster CATOs.

Sea Dart

hi

That was a really inmpressive vid, in training they showed us some videos of Sidewinder rocket motors with cracked propellant inside, they were bolted to a test stand and fired, and the reaction was well stunning to say the least , the burning propellant would fracture the booster case then it was akin to a mad dog chasing its own tail, some landed 1.5 miles away in a welsh hillside.

Amongst other vids we watched was a MILAN AT Missile strike from a tanker gunners point of view and one on the power of ejection seat rockets, when you see a 400kg steel door flung about 50 yards , you develope a strong sense of respect for ejections seats lol hopefully someday those vids will end up on the internet lol

Thanks for the link, sferrin!

I love it when posters on forums refer me to liveleak and youtube!:D
This is what I found when I “surfed” a bit after looking at the fizzling Sea Dart;

I’d have to say that:

a) it’s either for real
b) very well done for a hoax

Do UFOs have to bank into a turn?:confused::rolleyes:

That’s what I thought (very well done CGI that is 🙂 )

Seen them do that before!. Crack in the solid booster composition that leads to low-order combustion rather than boost!.

The testimony that that is a bloody powerful booster is that the fragment that did fire properly was sufficient to throw a big heavy missile like a Dart clear overboard!
