MISSION For use with 105mm US M68, UK L7, CN105F1 and other Stanag 4458 compliant tank guns, to provide cost effective marksmanship and live fire training of gun crews. DESCRIPTION The projectile consists of a sub-projectile and sabot. The sub-projectile comprises a cone stabilized steel rod and a tracer assembled in the cone assembly. The sub -projectile is contained in a 3-piece aluminium discarding Sabot, held in place with a polymer band at the forward end and a polymer obturating band at the rear end of the
sabot. The projectile is crimped to the cartridge case, which is loaded with cool burning, multi -perforated, loose propellant, and is fitted with anelectric primer and a wear reducing liner. This round is similar, in appearance and ballistically to the MECAR 105mm APFSDS-T M1060A2/A3 rounds as well as most other existing APFSDS-T rounds, up to a range of 2.5km. The cone tail design ensures that the maximum range of the projectile is less than 10km. PACKAGING
