Eduard 648136 S-24 Rocket 1/48 – Precision S-24 Rocket for 1:48 Scale Models

The Eduard 648136 S-24 Rocket 1/48 kit is a unique accessory for modelers who want to enhance the realism of their Cold War era and modern aircraft projects. The set is dedicated to 1/48 scale and is a faithfully reproduced replica of the famous Soviet-made S-24 unguided air-to-ground rocket, widely used by Warsaw Pact forces.

Brief Historical Overview and Application

The S-24 rocket was developed by the Soviet Union in the 1960s as a heavy unguided air-to-ground rocket. It was primarily used during the Cold War and was mounted on many Soviet and Russian fighter-bomber aircraft such as the MiG-21, MiG-23, Su-17, Su-24, and Su-25. The S-24 rocket was used for destroying fortified ground targets and enemy military equipment during numerous armed conflicts—including in Afghanistan, Syria, and Chechnya. Due to its effectiveness and versatility, it remains in limited use to this day in some countries.
