Category

Armament Medium- and high-pressure mortars. Development By NASCHEM to partner the M61 HE bomb. Description This is ballistically matched to the M61 HE bomb and is filled with titanium tetrachloride (FM). On impact a small burster charge of explosive ruptures the steel body and distributes the FM, which generates smoke by reaction with the water vapour in the air. It produces a dense smoke for screening or signalling purposes. Manufacturer NASCHEM
