The Magical Flying Fire Crow is one of the first rocket prototypes. The Chinese Military created an aerodynamic rocket bomb, crafted uniquely in the likeness of a crow. Constructed from bamboo, the rocket soars through the air, utilizing its wings. This explosive projectile was propelled into the sky and into stationary or slow moving targets.
