The first iron-cased rockets are successfully developed and used in 1792 by Hyder Ali’s son Tipu Sultan, ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore, against the larger British East India Company forces during the Anglo-Mysore Wars.
The Mysore rockets of this period are much more advanced than the British had previously seen, chiefly because of the use of iron tubes for holding the propellant; this enabled higher thrust and longer range for the missile (up to two kilometer range).
