I m working in black sea relatively close to Ukraine. This shit just floated near my ship.For my untrained k eyes looks like some rocket that run out of fuel and floating with the warhead underwaterCan some of you k conneseuires confirm or debunk this?Should i panic it this shit touches my ship or i hit it by mistake?

>>65013355>Can some of you k conneseuires confirm or debunk this?SA-22 missile booster stage
If dubs, get up to flank speed and then ram it, post results
>>65013355Oh noooo torbedo
>>65013355brother that ain't no damn rocket it's a buoy
>>65013366Czech’d
>>65013355Google lens tells me it's a trident missile you better run
>>65013365are you blind
>>65013365There is no warhead or fuel inside Warhead is in detachable first stage.
>>65013365>>65013375If it s a dud or something like the warhead failed to go to stage 2 could the explosive head still be attached to it?>>65013366Shieeeeet
>>65013366oh shit checked
>>65013379no the warhead would be on the face that sticks out the water and rn it's not there anon, just look at the fucking picture
>>65013355my guess is the initial booster stage of a ship-launched cruise missile.
>>65013355the cool thing OP is that you can take this and send it to the war thunder Devs so they can fix their fucking game HOW THE FUCK RUSSIAN AD IS THAT GOOD YOU STUPID SNAIL IT'S CLEARLY NOT WORKING IRL
>>650133822/8 made me replyTry harder nextime
>>65013386What kind of stupid retard are you anon seriously?
>>65013391Ya man that is how gravity and buoyancy workLook up metacentric height
>>65013391The silver part is clearly the reactor so is your picture upside down literally.
>>65013379No, the item in the photo is the expended booster stage. It's just an empty wire cylinder.>but where's the warheadit detached and went along its way, leaving this thing behind.
>>65013379>If it s a dud or something like the warhead failed to go to stage 2 could the explosive head still be attached to it?Stage with warhead is attached to the metal bit that is floating above water on your photo.It's just normal operation of S-22. booster stage engine accelerates missile then it separates, warhead stage flies to target by inertia, booster stages flies downrange 1-2 km and falls on the ground/water.I guess it was SA-22 standing near coast and firing to sea direction it's booster fell into water and was carried by currents to your location.
>>65013365Well spotted SAM autist anon.>>65013405The fins and nozzle weigh more than the forward endcap, this isn't complicated.
>>65013417>Well spotted SAM autist anon.These things are all over Russian border regions, flying into windows, breaking roofs and parked cars
>>65013415>>65013417Now i get it. Didn t spot thisMy mistake. Apologies
>>65013405>muhhhh I work on ships so I can use technical jargonyeah cool but you are wrong tho
>>65013422>>65013411>>65013386>This kind of low IQ retards share my oxygen
>>65013365based /k/ommando
>>65013365I don't know what the other anons have smoked but this is clearly it. You can clearly see the checkering, the same lower joint on the shiny bit and even the little squares in the fourth row of triangles. Is it still filled with explosives? I don't know. I'd expect a used booster to be open on both ends like a tube (maybe it isn't and it's sealed at the top), on the other hand an unused booster would be quite dense and sink. Anyway op, take it home and don't tell the authorities
>>65013466>most of /k/ fails at basic patern recognition yeah
>>65013466I get there are always newfags turning up so I'll try to be nice.Boosters aka Solid Rocket Boosters are solid rocket motors, tubes with an endcap at the top and a nozzle at the bottom. They contain solid rocket fuel, an igniter and sometimes a small high pressure nitrogen tank for thrust vectoring but no warhead.They are basically the same as the SRBs on the space shuttle providing high trust for a short time to get things moving.
>>65013466>take it home and don't tell the authoritiesThe larger ones can be repurposed as bbqs, not sure what you could use this for.
>>65013475>providing high trust for a short time to get things movingThis is essential because rockets gly primarily through faith and require the absence of any doubt to perform initial ignition.
>>65013466>don't know. I'd expect a used booster to be open on both ends like a tube (maybe it isn't and it's sealed at the top),Obviously it's sealed on top and nozzle on the bottom. Air is traped in the top part this is why it floats.
>>65013475>>65013488whithout doubt. Physically carrying on the flame from the booster to the seperation charge and then to the sustaining motor would be how I assumed this worked and you'd need a hole in the top of the booster for it. But I'm no russian rocket engineer so I'm just speculating
>>65013522Some 2 stage hobby rockets work like this with a delay grain sealing the first stage during boost and burning through to ignite the second stage but it's not very reliable as temperature effects burn rate.Military 2 stages use an accelerometer in the second stage to ignite when the first stops providing boost and the second stage igniting is what pushes the stages apart. The ogive nose cone in OP pic fits into the nozzle bell of the second stage.
>>65013640I don't think S-22 even has separation mechanism. I believe during acceleration stages are held together by acceleration forces. Separation is achieved by drag force after motor burn out.
>>65013415>I guess it was SA-22 standing near coast and firing to sea directionLikely that but there is also a ship-based Pantsir-M, and IIRC the Russians also put some SPAA systems in landing craft or on the helicopter deck of other ships, to expand their air defence envelope around Crimea and some of the oil platforms
>>65013760Most 2 stage SAMs are held together by G, it's insane how hard the missiles can turn with a simple cone and 20+ G of acceleration holding them together.
>>65013379No, it’s just a tube with some nasty solid rocket fuel residue in it at this point
