Armament 160 mm Soltam and Tampella mortars. Development By Soltam for mortars in Israeli service. Description These bombs use the same body, tail unit and propelling charge as the M4 HE bomb (qv) but differ in their internal arrangements. The nose of the bomb is closed by an adaptor which supports a central exploder tube and receives the fuze. Around the exploder the body cavity is filled with either White Phosphorus (WP) or titanium tetrachloride (FM) composition. In addition to its screening smoke role, the WP
bomb is also useful as a night ranging round. Manufacturer Soltam Ltd.
