It is claimed that this round is capable of defeating the armour of a T-72 tank.</p><h2>Description</h2><p>The NORINCO 100 mm APFSDS-T Type 73 is a fixed round with the projectile assembly crimped onto a brass cartridge case. The projectile assembly consists of a subprojectile and a sabot. The subprojectile consists of a monobloc dense tungsten alloy penetrator rod with a diameter of 40 mm, the front part of which has an aluminium windshield. An aluminium fin assembly with eight fins is fitted to the rear of the penetrator rod and contains a tracer element. The sabot is aluminium and consists of three 120º segments assembled around the subprojectile and interfaced with the penetrator body by a series of mating buttress grooves. The sabot is held in place by a plastic ring at the forward end and a plastic obturating band toward the sabot base. Rotating rate at the muzzle is 6,000 to 8,000 rpm. The brass cartridge case contains loose, cool-burning, multiperforated, double-base propellant. A percussion primer is fitted to the base. The projectile assembly has a muzzle velocity of 1,505 m/s. It can penetrate 150 mm of homogeneous armour plate set at an angle of 65º at a range of 2,400 m. Dispersion at 1,000 m is less than 300 × 300 mm. The direct firing range against a 2 m high target is 1,730 m.</p><h2>Authorised fuzes</h2><p>None involved Equivalent rounds PAKISTAN</p><p>PAKISTAN</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Pakistan Ordnance Factories</p><p>Type: 100 mm APFSDS</p><p>Description: Complete round length given as 1.021 m and weight 20.17 kg; projectile assembly weight</p><p>is approximately 5 kg.
