Claim:
A warhead for attacking semi-hard or soft or semi-hard and soft targets, the warhead comprising: (a) a metallic side casing that forms fragments that are deployed in a lateral direction of the warhead; (b) explosive material that is located in the casing; (c) a front plate capable of forming fragments that are deployed in a front direction of the warhead, wherein the front plate is attached to the casing; (d) a proximity sensor; (e) a fuze connected to the explosive material; and (f) a stabilization system for setting a vertical flight path to a target, wherein initiation of the fuze is governed by presetting a defined height with respect to the type of target to be attacked, wherein the proximity sensor operates to confirm when the warhead is at the defined height, and wherein the specific deployment of the fragments in the lateral direction of the warhead, or the front direction of the warhead, or the lateral direction of the warhead and the front direction of the warhead, depends on the preset detonation height.
