Editing Hydra 70 (section)

==Warheads==
Hydra 70 warheads fall into three categories:
* Unitary warheads with impact-detonating fuzes or remote-set multi-option fuzes.
* Cargo warheads with [[air burst]]-range, with settable fuzes using the "wall-in-space" concept or fixed standoff fuzes.
* Training warheads.

===Common warheads===
The most common warhead for the Hydra 70 rocket is the M151 "10-Pounder," which has a blast radius of 10 meters and lethal fragmentation radius of around 50 meters.<ref>[https://www.eglin.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/962547/new-laser-guided-rocket-capability-tested/ New laser-guided rocket capability tested] - AF.mil, 3 October 2016</ref> The M247 HEDP warheads have similar penetration to the standard [[M72 LAW]] warhead (~300 mm of rolled homogenous armor).<ref>[https://cat-uxo.com/explosive-hazards/rockets/70mm-m247-hydra-rocket CAT-UXO: "70mm M247 Hydra Rocket."] Retrieved October 8, 2024.</ref>
