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.
《神火飛鴉》是最早的火箭原型之一,為中國軍方所創造。《神火飛鴉》是一種空氣動力火箭彈,以烏鴉的形狀為原型製作。火箭由竹子製成,利用它的翅膀在空中翱翔。這種具爆炸性的火箭彈會被射入天空,從而擊中靜止或緩慢移動的目標。
