For shooting PV-26 silver iodide flares (Fig. 1), the seeding aircraft are equipped with ejection systems that include remote control shooting and containers set with cartridges of various design (Fig. 2-5).
An-12 can be equipped with systems of shooting flares, which are installed both outside and inside the fuselage in the cargo compartment (Fig. 6). Shooting cutters made at the open ramp. A distinctive feature of these systems is that they recharge in flight, allowing for cloud seeding activity almost throughout the entire flight time.
