B-13L pods each containing five 130 mm S-13 rockets

Pat..........I'll just start this off with JANES

...and forget the other 300,000 sites that back Janes up

Description

The S-13 is a conventional 122 mm calibre unguided rocket

So..... S-13 rocket *IS* a 122mm rocket and the B-13L pod is the aircraft pod and the B-13L-1 is the one used on helicopters, INCLUDING Mi-24/35 'Hind'


Therefore....

B-13 pods carry S-13 rockets and S-13 rockets are 122mm, NOT 130mm and having Hinds carry 122mm rocket pods is quite correct and I have no idea where you got this s-13=130mm rocket info.
