Armament Israeli 52 mm Soltam mortars; ex-British 2 in mortars. Development By Israel Military Industries ( IMI ) based upon the British 2 in mortar bomb. Description The body of this bomb is a steel tube, closed at the head by a cap and at the tail by a diecast plug with four emission holes and a central screwed hole, into which the diecast tail unit is screwed. The body is filled with hexachloroethane smoke composition. A delay unit passes from the cartridge container in the tail to a priming charge inside the
bomb body. After firing, the delay burns through and ignites the priming charge, which in turn lights the smoke composition. The smoke is emitted through the four holes in the base plug. Manufacturer Israel Military Industries ( IMI ).
