What type of component is stored or shipped separately from the RPG warhead?

The booster motor is the component stored or shipped separately from the RPG warhead due to safety and logistical considerations. The separation between the booster motor and the warhead minimizes the risk of accidental detonation during transport and handling. This design practice ensures that the explosive potential of the warhead is not inadvertently activated by an impact or other environmental factors while in transit.

Additionally, separating the booster motor can facilitate easier transportation and storage by allowing for improved management of hazardous materials, enabling safer operations when handling these components in logistics or in the field. Thus, keeping the booster motor distinct from the warhead supports safer handling and operational readiness while maintaining the integrity of the weapon system.
