Armament 81 and 82 mm HE bombs of Yugoslav manufacture. Development By Yugoimport SDPR for Yugoslav service mortars. Description This is a direct action impact fuze with selectable delay. It uses a rotor which is locked by the firing pin when at rest. On firing, an inertia sleeve sets back, locks and then lifts the firing pin out of the rotor into the armed position. The rotor can then turn and move laterally across the fuze, the distance it moves depending upon the setting of a turnscrew in the side. When set for
SQ action, the rotor stops with a detonator lined up beneath the firing pin. On impact this detonator is struck and transmits its effect directly to the fuze magazine. If the turnscrew is set for delay, the rotor moves to position a second detonator under the firing pin, which has a delay unit beneath it. Thus, when struck by the firing pin there will be the usual 0.05 second delay before the effect is transmitted to the fuze magazine. Manufacturer Yugoimport SDPR.
