Please clarify the term "turbojet ammunition", thank you.



it is a literal translation Турбореактивный снаряд - whether it is a type of rocket propulsion I have no idea...

It's not the type of propulsion, it's the way the missile is stabilized. Туурбореактивнный снаряд the projectile is stabilized by rotation, as opposed to arrow stabilization using stabilizers.

The designation "turbojet" for rockets stabilized by rotation induced by obliquely inclined nozzles was once also used for the 130 JRRO RM51 rockets for the Czechoslovak 130mm vz.51 rocket launcher.
Later (in the 1960s and 1970s) this designation was gradually abandoned as terminologically misleading. It evokes the wrong idea of using a turbojet (= jet) engine.

Alchemist, thank you. That's exactly what I was thinking, and since this is the first time I've read that term, it seemed a bit absurd.
