a warhead on [a missile]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes confuse "warhead" with the whole weapon or missile. A "warhead" is only the explosive or destructive part at the front, not the entire missile or rocket.

explosive payload (More descriptive and general; used for any explosive carried by a weapon, not only missiles or torpedoes.)
Αντώνυμα
inert warhead (Refers to a non-explosive training or test version, so it contrasts with an active, explosive warhead.)
