It was still in use during the Sepoy mutiny, as we learn from Field-Marshal Earl Roberts, but has become obsolete with the rapid progress of science. This was the war-rocket manufactured by private contract for the Peshwa’s army, and the average price of one of these curious weapons was 5 Rupees each. The rockets were carried by camels, and probably the rocketeers were also mounted on them. - [Previous: c8.49](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c8.49) - [Next: c8.51](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c8.51) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c8.50](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1928.c8.50) · Pramāṇa
