This category includes not only pyrotechnic projectiles visible in the sky, but also traces of exploded projectiles, their fragments and other similar activities.
Pyrotechnics is a branch of technology related to the technology of preparing combustible compounds and burning them to obtain a certain signal or effect.
Divided into:
- military (such as flare guns, flash-bang special equipment, smoke bombs)
- specialized (filming special effects, civil signaling devices, pyrobolts, railway firecrackers)
- entertainment (mainly fireworks — firecrackers, sparklers, firecrackers, rockets, fountains, fireworks)
Photoflash aerial bomb, FOTAB (photoflash bomb, flash bomb) — an aircraft bomb that creates a powerful short-term flash of light.
The main charge of the FOTAB is made of a powdered aluminum-magnesium alloy called a photo mixture. Along the axis of the aerial bomb, an ignitable explosive charge (VRZ) is installed, consisting of a mixture of an oxidizer and aluminum powder with magnesium. It is activated by a remote fuse. The explosion of which destroys the body of the aerial bomb, the photo mixture is scattered, ignited and burned using oxygen in the air. FOTAB 100 kg creates a flash with a luminous intensity of more than 2 billion candles lasting about 0.2 seconds.
It is designed to illuminate the terrain during night aerial photography from an airplane from altitudes up to 10,000 m, at flight speeds up to 1,000 km / h. Due to the advent of improved night optics, satellite images and stealth aircraft, these bombs are no longer used by the military.
Phosphoric ammunition is a type of incendiary ammunition loaded with white phosphorus or incendiary substances based on white phosphorus mixed with other substances. White phosphorus and incendiary substances based on white phosphorus belong to the group of self-igniting incendiary substances burning using oxygen from the air.
Flares or glowing bombs. They hover in the sky for a short time, for example, to simulate the air targets of a conditional enemy during exercises, to illuminate the battlefield, etc.
To prepare the flares, the military must adjust each of the timers so that they correspond to the distance the rocket will fall before it lights up in the night sky.
"If I set the timer to 1000, the flare will fall 1000 feet, and at that time the timer at the top will unlock, the spring will turn off the timer and allow the parachute to open. Then the force of the parachute opening ignites the signal rocket," the sergeant said. Christopher Vines, loader VMGR-352, 25-year-old native of Littleton, Colorado. "Depending on whether it is an obvious or hidden (infrared) flash, it will burn for 4 or 7 minutes, respectively. After this time, the explosive bolt destroys one of the parachute cables, as a result of which the parachute collapses and frees the airspace for other aircraft."
Flare
This pyrotechnic means for supplying the visual (and sometimes audio) signal is usually at night.
For small flares, the height of the sprocket 150 m, burn time - 6 - 12.
Parachute rocket distress (RPSP-40, PRB-40, RB-40Ш) - duration light signal may be 30 or more, its height up to 300 m, the signal light large parachute rocket can be seen in 25 - 30 km from a place of giving of a night and for a few kilometers in the afternoon. Red light signal.
Flares of colored lights. One and two star red, white, green and yellow lights. Duration of a luminescence - 5 - 40 C.
Combined flare. At the height of 200 m, sound and flash alarm five red lights burning for 5 s, and howling sound, lasting 8 s.
Signal cartridges of night and day actions (PSND). The detection limit night PSND signal (bright orange or crimson flame) reaches in the dark 15 - 20 km if you watch it from the plane flying at an altitude of 500 m. the Fluorescent signal (crimson smoke) with the same height can be seen at a distance of 5 - 8 km.
There are also special flare, torch, candles, smoke bombs and things like fireworks, which can burn for longer, sometimes up to 10 min or more. Also they can vary the colour of light, brightness, presence of smoke and sound. For example, a flare of red fire has a burning time of a light signal 60 C. and light intensity of 10 thousand candles.

The dipole the reflector is a strip of foil, metallized paper or metallized optical fiber segments. For the successful reflection of the signal, they should have the length about half wave length emitted by the radar. Chaff in a large number of throw or shoot into the air space Packed into bundles (the charges) or unpackaged, that they dissipate. For aircraft cannons created a special protiveris projectiles, which when thrown a cloud of tear interference.

The aviation target is a thin-walled metal body, inside which a 7 torches, each of which consists of a pyrotechnic lighting composition. After dropping out of a plane this light charge splits into 7 luminous components, each of which is equipped with a parachute system. All the charges have different sizes of parachutes, which ensures their dispersal in the sky. Such a target is used for training pilots during operations in night conditions. Time unresponsiveness of the target light in air is 7 - 10 minutes.

Fireworks
Decorative lights of different colors and shapes produced by combustion of pyrotechnic compositions. Now they represent not only the so-called "bombs", but also fountains, burning decals, static and dynamic figures, daytime fireworks and special effects for the space. For UFO accept on the photos or at single shots "Roman candle". Daytime fireworks for UFOs can be taken on video and photographs and by direct observation, as in Russia, it was used relatively recently and not all have used (besides volleys at once can not be linked with the recent pattern in the sky).

The sky was lit up with the four ball of fire at a very close distance from each other. The lights hung in the air for about half an hour, and then went out.
Aviation is a special target used by the night during military exercises.

Bright twinkling objects in the night sky quickly moved. It is noteworthy that they appeared in groups and then disappear. Bright balloons are aircraft targets M6. These targets simulate the moving air targets, as well as their active and noise interference.

Military flares over central Texas 11-16-10
stephenvilleufo
The military shoots flares these almost daily in this area. Not all flares are alike. Some just shoot out and burn out but these particular flares each have their own flares. The jets appear to shoot one flare, that flare shoots another, etc. etc. which accounts for what appears to be turns that an aircraft cannot perform. Sometimes you can hear the aircraft's rumbling and sometimes the aircraft is so far away from you that you cannot hear it but can still see the flares. These are mistaken for UFOs all the time.

The pyrotechnic cartridge to scare birds away
Author: Yan Sabirov
Published: may 18, 2016
"Ural pyrotechnic plant" is the serial production of pyrotechnic ammunition, which due to production of a characteristic sound able to scare off flocks of birds. Chuck is actuated by using a trigger device to trigger the signal threaded cartridges. Pyrotechnic element (green pressed out by star) rises to a height of 80 m, creating acoustic emission (140 dB) in the form of cod with a duration of 4 – 6 seconds. The product is already used at airports in Chelyabinsk and Novosibirsk. OOOUPZ.RU

In these 1920s photos, you can see a bomber setting a special smoke screen with a cast of smoke that hides the ship from view during a U.S. Navy exercise.
As you know, smoke screens are used in two main cases: to blind enemy troops or to mask their troops.
A flashbulb exploded over La Spezia during an air raid on the night of April 13-14, 1943. It illuminated the city's dockyard and the battleship (marked with the letter "A") standing at the parking lot. The silhouette of one of the attacking bombers is visible Avro Lancaster.
