23260-421 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention relates to a sub-combat unit which is arranged to be separated from a flying body, for example a carrier shell or the like, for example over a target area. The sub- combat unit includes a warhead, a target detector and two diametrically disposed carrier surfaces. These are, via carrier arms pivotally disposed each on its own shaft located in a plane which is normal to the line of symmetry of the warhead from a collapsed position in which the carrier arms and carrier surfaces connect to the circumferential surface of the sub-combat unit and to a position opened at 90° at which both of the carrier surfaces form a retarding area of the fall velocity of the sub- combat unit and impart to the sub-combat unit a rotation for scanning the target area in a helical pattern during the fall of the sub-combat unit towards the target area. The sub-combat unit includes a wing flip-out mechanism with damping devices of rubber disposed on each carrier surface, in connection with the casing of the sub-combat unit, the damping devices being compressed by the carrier arms during the flip-out movement, and return stops against which the carrier arms are operative to spring back.
