Italian here, in the news they said it looks like the rocket was empty. So explosive was probably removed to be used by itself.

The linked article said it didn't have a warhead. Are you saying it didn't have any propellant either? In that case an expensive tube?

[napolux]

According to some sources, no warhead, but there's no mention of propellant.

Some sources say "ready to be armed and used" but with no other detail.

Some others are mentioning Matra as the manufacturer.

The more that comes out about this story the more boring it seems.
