Armament All standard 60 mm mortars. Development By Hirtenberger AG for general use. Description This bomb is similar to the RP-S Mk 1 smoke bomb, described previously, but the Red Phosphorus (RP) filling is slightly different in order to enhance incendiary over smoke effects. The RP-I bomb still produces a useful amount of long lasting smoke, however. Red Phosphorus is used in both the RP-S Mk 1 and in the RP-I because it achieves a higher combustion temperature than White Phosphorus (WP) and thus has a greater
incendiary effect. Manufacturer Hirtenberger AG.
