Comparison of the three RY size classes

The RY Rocket Family (Rocket Inyursta) is a series of standardized bombs in use by various military forces of Inyursta, its allies and various client states.

Overview

A series of simple rockets developed by PAVCO Arms and Seratto Defense, the RY family is the ongoing result of Inyurstan plans to replace and reduce reliance on foreign rocket sales. Since their introduction, wide diversification of the rocket family has taken place.

All rocket variants come in 82mm, 130mm and 240mm classes. The most common platforms for the RY family are helicopters, such as the AH-1Y Spitting Cobra and AH-60Y2 Bushmaster II, but also jet aircraft such as the Amérifighter EF-20 and A-10Y Urutu.

Deployment

Both 82mm and 130mm class rockets are designed to be fit into rocket pods carrying multiple units. Generally, albeit with a single exception, the rocket pods are all fit to carry a single size class of rocket.

UPD-11/82 is a lightweight x11 pod to carry the RY-82 series, and the UPD-23/82 is a larger, heavier version to fit x23 of the same series. Seratto Defense is purportedly undergoing flight testing for a potential x38 rocket pod dubbed the UPD-38/82 to make use of greater combat carrying capacity on certain attack jets. For the RY-130 series, the UPD-7/130, a x7 rocket pod, is typically deployed. For smaller drones and on occasional missions the MH-70 Naranínca carry the UPDL-1/130 or UPDL-2/130 canisters, which contain either a single or double RY-130. The single exception to the aforementioned rule is the UPDM-4-10 which carries x4 RY-130 in the center of the pod surrounded by x10 RY-82 around the sides.

The RDJM-70 is a dual-purpose rocket pod and 70 gallon fuel tank that carries x14 RY-82 series missiles.
