Category
Боєприпаси, ракети та високоточне озброєння
Armament 60 mm mortars M57 , M70 , TDA Commando and similar. Development No information. Description The body has parallel sides for some distance in front of the bourrelet and has four gas check grooves behind it. An alloy tail unit with six fins is screwed into the tail of the body. There are four studs of bourrelet diameter at the nose end of the body which act as guides to keep the bomb centralised in the mortar barrel. Internally, at the tail end, is a central spigot surrounded by a compressed spring. Above
this is an alloy cup into which a parachute is folded. Above the parachute are the coiled lines and above this the flare container, mouth upwards. A time fuze is screwed into the bomb nose and retains the contents in place. When the fuze functions at the set time it ignites the flare composition and, due to the pressure evolved, blows the fuze out of the nose of the bomb. The coiled spring then ejects the flare container and parachute. The alloy cup falls away and the parachute deploys to support the burning flare. Manufacturer Yugoimport SDPR.
