Armament All 120 mm smoothbore mortars. Development By Soltam Systems. Description This bomb is to the same external shape as the HE M57 bomb described previously, the only difference being in the internal filling. A short burster tube fits into the head of the bomb and carries a burster charge. The cavity of the bomb body is filled with White Phosphorus (WP), which is liberated when the burster explodes and breaks the bomb body. The WP will inflame spontaneously on contact with the air, creating a dense white
smoke with incendiary effects. Manufacturer Soltam Ltd.
