Tarikh Episode 669
In this episode Nikhil Talks about The Mysore Rockets, also known as Mysorean rockets, were innovative military weapons developed by the Kingdom of Mysore in the late 18th century. Led by Sultan Tipu Sultan, the Mysore Rockets played a significant role in the Anglo-Mysore Wars against the British East India Company.
These rockets were characterised by their metal casing, containing a combination of gunpowder and iron filings. The Mysore Rockets were mounted on bamboo or iron tubes and could be launched from various platforms, including handheld tubes and artillery pieces. Tipu Sultan's use of these rockets during the Siege of Srirangapatna in 1792 marked a historical milestone, showcasing the effectiveness of these early rocket systems.
The Mysore Rockets impressed the British forces, who eventually adopted and modified the technology. Sir William Congreve, a British artillery officer, played a pivotal role in further developing rocket technology based on the Mysorean design. The Congreve Rockets, derived from Mysore Rockets, gained widespread use in various conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812.
The legacy of the Mysore Rockets lives on as a testament to the innovative military developments of the time, influencing the trajectory of rocket technology in subsequent centuries.
