The part 2 of the paper introduces the results of studying the designs of warheads of anti-aircraft guided missiles. Warheads of V-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles of the S-25 anti-aircraft missile system were taken as an example. The analysis of information from open sources allowed us to restore the design and layout diagrams of the warheads of the later stages of modernization of the S-25 anti-aircraft missile system and assess their combat characteristics. Other devices that make up the combat equipment, i.e. a combination of a warhead and an explosive device, of an anti-aircraft guided missile are also considered: safety-and-arming mechanisms and radio fuses. As in the first part, we implemented a systematic approach to studying and designing warheads of anti-aircraft guided missiles, so carriers, i.e. anti-aircraft guided missiles, were also taken into account. Nuclear or special warheads, which equipped missiles of V-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles of the S-25 anti-aircraft missile system after various stages of modernization, are also considered.
