Long before the V2 or the Saturn V, a kingdom in southern India was firing iron-cased rockets into battle. This episode dives into the Mysorean rockets of Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali — the technology, the wars, and how British soldiers were so impressed they took the designs back to England. We trace the rockets from their early use against the British East India Company at the Battle of Pollilur (1780) to the siege of Srirangapatna (1799), where Tipu fell. We explore the iron tubes, the bamboo guide sticks, and the innovations in range and accuracy that made these rockets more advanced than anything in Europe at the time. Along the way we meet Tipu's French-trained army, the British reactions recorded in letters and memoirs, and the later capture of hundreds of unused rockets that were shipped to London and studied at the Royal Arsenal. The episode also touches on the disputed legacy of Tipu — is he a freedom fighter or a despotic ruler? — but keeps the spotlight on the rockets themselves, their design, and their surprising connection to the Congreve rocket that would later be used in the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812. #MysoreanRockets #TipuSultan #HyderAli #BattleOfPollilur #Srirangapatna #HistoryOfRockets #IndianMilitaryHistory #Mysore #Karnataka #18thCentury #BritishEastIndiaCompany #CongreveRocket #Rocketry #IronCasedRockets #TipuSultanLegacy #SouthIndianHistory #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
