The projectile assembly consists of a subprojectile and a sabot. The subprojectile consists of a monobloc high-strength tungsten alloy penetrator rod, with an aluminium fin assembly containing a tracer element fitted to the rear of the penetrator rod. Length to diameter ratio of the penetrator is over 20:1. The three segment sabot is aluminium alloy, held in place by a plastic ring at the forward end and a plastic obturating band toward the sabot base. The brass (MK-75) cartridge case contains 6 kg of M30 propellant: a percussion primer is fitted to the base. The projectile assembly has a muzzle velocity of 1,400 m/s. The penetrator is stated to be able to penetrate 445 mm of armour at 1,000 m. Maximum effective range is given as 5,000 m.</p><h2>Authorised fuzes</h2><p>None involved Equivalent rounds ROMANIA</p><p>ROMANIA</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>AEROTEH SA</p><p>Type: 100 mm APFSDS-T BM-412 Sg</p><p>Description: As M309 specifications .</p>
