Armament RFAS, Czech, Slovak and other patterns of smoothbore 120 mm mortar. Development This appears to be an improved version of the Czech OF-A 120 mm HE bomb; it was probably developed under Czechoslovakian Army auspices before independence. Description Generally similar to the Model OF-A, this bomb is of conventional form, though rather longer and more slender than the OF-A design and probably of higher grade steel. It is filled with RDX/TNT and carries a percussion fuze with optional delay. The body is of
steel and a light-alloy tail unit is screwed to a spigot formed at the rear end. The propelling charge consists of a primary cartridge inserted into the tail unit and six secondary charges in cloth bags, tied around the tailboom. Manufacturer ZVS Dubnica.
