60 mm smoke bomb M50A1
Region
Israel
Category
Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons
Armament Israeli 60 mm mortars and others. Development By Soltam Systems. Description This uses the same body, tail unit and propellant system as the HE Bomb M38 described previously but differs internally. A short burster tube fits into the head of the bomb and carries a burster charge. The cavity of the bomb body, around this tube, is filled with either White Phosphorus (WP), Plasticised White Phosphorus (PWP) or titanium tetrachloride (FM) which is liberated when the burster explodes and breaks open the bomb.
WP and PWP will inflame spontaneously, FM will combine with the water vapour in the air and either will thus produce smoke. Manufacturer Soltam Systems.
