Rocket «Alazan-5».
«ALAZAN-5» rocket is an unguided finned 82.5 mm missile. It has a two-mode engine (with 6 sec pause between the modes), a head part with pyrotechnic mixture of crystallizing agent, and a self-distracter. The two mode regime guarantees flat trajectories and accurate agent delivery to a specified cloud layer.
The rocket can transport 630 g of pyrocomponent, dispersing it along the route during 35 seconds.
The seeding route is of 6 km length and the concentration of ice-forming aerosol is quite high.
The rocket can be safely used over densely populated areas due to body crushing into small fragments after the seeding is over.

Rocket «Alazan-6»
The missile «Alazan-6» — feathered unguided rocket 82.5 mm caliber. The missile has a dual-mode engine (with a pause of 6 seconds between modes), the head part, pyrotechnic composition of the crystallizing and the liquidator. The presence of two modes of operation of the engine provides a flat trajectory missiles, and the introduction of the reagent in a given cloud layer. Security of the rocket in densely populated areas is ensured by crushing facility to secure the fragments after seeding. The success of active influence on hail processes is largely determined by the quality of the physical realization of the concept of seeding with the help of technical means used. Widely used in Russia, CIS and Argentina antihail complex «Alazan-6» superior to their counterparts in efficiency and reliability. However, high costs and increased requirements necessitated the creation of anti-hail small-size complexes of new generation.

Rocket «Alazan-9»
A new generation of environmentally friendly products antihail «Alazan-9» is different from the commercially available «Alazan-6» improved technical — economic indices:
1) high quality and performance of the reagent is increased by 2.5-3 times;
2) clean fuel engine;
3) the ability to protect large areas (from 10 thousand to 1 million hectares);
4) The guarantee of the protection of not less than 70%;
3) decreased in comparison with the product «Alazan-6» to 40% of the cost of production while maintaining the tactical and technical characteristics:

Rocket «Alan-2»
Launch a new generation of «Alan-2» — feathered unguided rocket-caliber 69 mm, providing an effective radius of cloud seeding in the 11.5 km. The generator of ice-forming agent is a main engine, which generates high-speed active nucleus of crystallization for 45 seconds and creates the necessary traction across the flight path.
Rocket «Alan-2» has several advantages over similar products:
• a radically new design;
• the large mass of crystallizing reagent (2.2 kg);
• high precision delivery of the reagent due to the high rate of the rocket from the fence (100 m/s), excluding the effect of surface wind on the accuracy of its flight;
• has a flat trajectory due to the continuous work of main engine, which provides the introduction of the reagent in the cloud layer kilometer on the track length of 8 — 10 km;
• no hazardous elements, simplicity and reliability of the parachute system ensure the safety of use in populated areas.
