Default Mughal Rocketry

Guys, just watched an interesting video on the Mughal rocketry on YouTube.
Check it out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjJHV-z5J8g
A particularly interesting part of the video is when a London museum curator is showing off an antique indian rocket with what looks to be a firangi style blade afixed to the tail as a guide rod and something else, I wont spoil the coolness of the idea. Was it effective I dont know but facinating it sure is.

A very impressive clip! Thanks for sharing. I especially enjoyed the example from the musuem with blade still attached. Very cool!
