ZPS 125 mm APFSDS-T
Armament 2A45 and 2A45M tank guns fitted to T-64 and early T-72 MBTs; 2A46 (D-81) and 2A46M (D-81M) tank guns fitted to T-64A and T-72 MBTs; 2A46M1 tank gun fitted to T-80 and T-90E MBTs; 2A75 gun fitted to 2S25 self-propelled anti-tank gun; 2A45M Sprut-B towed anti-tank gun. Development This 125 mm APFSDS-T round was developed by Zaklady Tworzyw Sztucznych `Pronit' SA (now Zaklady Prodkeji Specjalnej SO zoo (ZPS)) at its plant at Pionki in Poland . The round uses the original D-81 gun series two-part propellant system but the projectile assembly is entirely different and based on Western-type APFSDS technology. Description The ZPS 125 mm APFSDS-T is a separate loading munition. It is loaded into the breech surrounded, behind the sabot assembly, by an integral combustible propellant charge in a combustible case and followed by the main 4Zh63 semi-combustible propellant charge. The light alloy sabot assembly consists of a three-segment sabot, with a high-strength tungsten alloy penetrator rod forming the projectile. The penetrator rod has a diameter of 28 mm and a length-to-diameter ratio of 19.3:1. The rod has an aluminium six-finned fin assembly at the rear containing a tracer element. The two-component propellant system is based on the design of the Russian Federation and Associated States (CIS) 125 mm APFSDS and can be auto-loaded using the loading system of the T-72 tank. Both components are encased in a combustible tube which is totally consumed on firing. The rear charge continues to be the standard 4Zh63. A steel stub case, weighing 3.4 kg and containing the GUV-7 electrical primer, remains to be ejected after firing. The case, made of BW 11 steel, is 140 mm long and has a flange diameter of 171.9 mm. Muzzle velocity is a nominal 1,650 m/s with velocity drop at 1,000 m less than 100 m/s. The projectile can penetrate a minimum of 460 mm of RHA at 2,000 m. Accuracy at 1,000 m is 0.3 × 0.3 m and 0.6 × 0.6 m at 2,000 m. ZPS has also produced a sound- and flash-producing 125 mm round known as ISA, using a plastic projectile filled with either water or an anti-freeze mixture . It permits firing in confined maintenance areas or over short ranges. When fired, the plastic projectile immediately breaks up to release its fluid contents and fragments within a maximum range of 100 m, while the recoil forces generated allow gun recoil mechanisms to operate for test or other purposes. The ISA projectile is 670 mm long and weighs from 5.5 to 6.5 kg.

100 mm HVAPDS-T UBM-6
Armament 100 mm D-10 series tank guns (including NORINCO Type 59 ); 100 mm field gun BS-3; NORINCO 100 mm field gun and 100 mm anti-tank gun Type 73; 100 mm Field Gun M53 ; 100 mm towed anti-tank gun M1977 ( Romania ). Development The 100 mm HVAPDS-T UBM-6 was the main anti-armour round used by D-10 series guns from about 1968 onwards. It fired the main anti-armour projectile for the D-10 gun series until the belated introduction of the 100 mm APFSDS 3BM-2 projectile and its equivalents. The Chinese Type 59 tank with its locally produced 100 mm main gun does not include an equivalent of this round in its normal ammunition inventory, although some form of APDS is offered by NORINCO as part of an enhanced performance 100 mm gun package. However, the Pakistan Ordnance Factories do produce a 100 mm APDS. Description The 100 mm HVAPDS-T BM-8 is the projectile component of a fixed round with the projectile assembly securely fixed to the brass cartridge case. The case mouth periphery is pressed around the narrow steel drive bands, five in number, which encircle the rear of the projectile assembly. The BM-8 projectile assembly consists of a light-alloy sabot and projectile. The penetrator has a diameter of 49.5 mm and a length of 120.14 mm. The streamlined nose of the projectile carries a pyrotechnic-filled tip to provide a flash indication of the impact point on a target. Behind this is a light-alloy cap covering the relatively blunt nose of the tungsten carbide penetrator. A thin-walled metal liner surrounds the penetrator and a tracer element is carried inside a housing protruding from the penetrator base. The penetrator subprojectile without the sabot weighs 2.9 kg. The brass or lacquered steel cartridge case contains 6.66 kg of stick and granular propellant, plus flash reducing and wear additives located in a ring close to the top of the cartridge case. There is a KW-13 or KW-13U percussion primer threaded into the base. Brass cases are made of MK-75 brass and weigh 8.5 kg. The flange diameter is 147.5 mm. The 100 mm HVAPDS-T BM-8 has a muzzle velocity of 1,400 to 1,415 m/s and is claimed to be able to penetrate 300 mm of vertical armour at the maximum effective direct fire range of 1,680 m. Authorised fuzes None involved Equivalent rounds PAKISTAN PAKISTAN Manufacturer Pakistan Ordnance Factories Type: 100 mm APDS Description: Muzzle velocity is 1,424 m/s and maximum effective range 1,500 m. Complete round weight is approximately 20 kg and projectile weight, including a tungsten alloy penetrator core, is 4.9 kg. The brass cartridge case contains a nominal 6.803 kg of NQ/M 054 double-base, multiperforated propellant ROMANIA Manufacturer SN ROMARM SA Type: 100 mm APDS Description: No longer in series production but may be held in reserve stocks.

Cartridge, QF, 25-pounder, HE
Armament 25-pounder field guns. Development The first 25-pounder field gun-howitzer was the Mk 1, an updated 18-pounder field gun from the Great War period with an 87.6 mm loose barrel sleeve inserted into the jacket of the older barrel. This was the 18/25-pounder, dating from 1938, most of which were lost in France in 1940. The next model was the Mk 2, dating from 1940 onwards, which remains the standard version (there were several other service versions, such as the self-propelled Sexton which is no longer in service anywhere), although most have now either been withdrawn from front-line use with many armed forces or relegated to training, gate guardian and saluting duties. Ammunition production facilities now survive only in Pakistan , from where exports are understood to have been delivered to Myanmar . The Indian Ordnance Factories no longer produce 25-pounder ammunition, although manufacturing facilities no doubt still exist. South Africa (where the 25-pounder is known as the G1) no longer retains a manufacturing capability as the stockpile of remaining rounds is understood to be around 300,000 and the G1 is held only as a reserve weapon. However, some 25-pounder barrels may be used as subcalibre training inserts for 155 mm G5 and G6 howitzers to economically utilise the remaining stockpiles. A radio proximity fuze, the M85C88, was developed in South Africa by Fuchs Electronics specifically for 25-pounder/G1 ammunition. The M85C88 can replace the usual PD fuze directly and operates at a factory set reference height between 6 and 8 m. The fuze circuits employ frequency-agility techniques. Should the fuze fail there is an impact detonating back-up. The only types of 25-pounder ammunition still likely to be encountered are HE, Smoke and Blank. Over the years the numbers and variations of 25-pounder ammunition have been legion and included AP-T, Illuminating, Chemical, Leaflet, paper-filled for functional testing, and so on. A 1944 service manual lists no fewer than four marks of cartridge case, 15 types of cordite-based propellant and 24 types of projectile. As a result the descriptions provided here for HE, Smoke and Blank can only be taken as typical. Description All 25-pounder rounds (actual calibre 87.6 mm) are classed as separate loading ammunition as the projectile is loaded separately from the cartridge case. The 25-pounder HE projectile is forged steel and normally filled with (typically) 825 g of TNT, although other fillings have been used, including cold pressed 60:40 Amatol, with or without a topping of TNT. The projectile is streamlined and there is a slight boat tail taper to the rear of the projectile; the flat steel base is screwed into a recess formed in the base. A copper drive band is used. The nose-mounted fuze is the DA and Percussion No 119B Mk 18 although the No 117/117C and No 222 have been used. The cartridge case is drawn 70:30 brass and is fitted with a No 11 percussion primer in the base. The normal cartridge carries three charges sewn into linen or cambric bags, with the charges being removed by hand to suit the particular requirement. Charge 1, the `core' charge, is coloured red, Charge 2 is white and Charge 3 is blue. The charges are retained in place by a fibre cup. The propellant involved is triple-based and flashless, the usual propellants being NQ 018 and NQ 050 weighing 857 g. There was also a unitary Super Charge, originally developed for an AP-T projectile which is no longer in service, using triple-base, flashless NQ/S 134-040 weighing 1.253 kg. Ballistic data for the charge system is as follows: Charge 1 - MV 198 m/s - max range 3,566 m Charge 2 - MV 297 m/s - max range 7,132 m Charge 3 - MV 442 m/s - max range 10,790 m Super Charge - MV 518 m/s - max range 12,253 m. Inert drill projectiles and drill cartridge cases complete with inert propelling charges have been produced.

Cartridge, QF, 25-pounder, Smoke
Armament 25-pounder field guns. Development Intended to provide screening smoke, this base ejection projectile was developed alongside the HE projectile during the late 1930s. The standard projectile was the Mk IID although other marks and variants, up to Mk VIIB, were produced. As far as can be determined this round is now produced only by the Pakistan Ordnance Factories. The US Cartridge, 105 mm: HC, M84 was developed using the 25-pounder Smoke projectile as a basis. Description This steel base ejection shell (actual calibre 87.6 mm) has a streamlined outline, a flat base with only a slight taper and a copper driving band. The front of the shell body is threaded to accept a steel adaptor into which a No 221 time fuze is threaded. Below the fuze is a 42.5 g black powder charge contained in a bag located just above a steel baffle plate. The main interior of the shell has parallel walls and contains three cylindrical smoke containers separated from each other by millboard washers. Each container is filled with a smoke-producing composition which is ignited after the time fuze functions. As the fuze functions it creates internal pressure against the baffle plate to force off the steel baseplate and eject the smoke canisters. The same charge also creates flash to travel down a central channel to ignite the contents of the smoke canisters which then produce dense clouds of grey/white smoke. The cartridge case is drawn 70:30 brass and fitted with a No 11 percussion primer in the base. The normal cartridge carries three charges sewn into linen or cambric bags, with the charges being removed by hand to suit the particular requirement. Charge 1, the `core' charge, is coloured red, Charge 2 is white and Charge 3 is blue. The charges are retained in place by a fibre cup. The propellant involved is cordite-based, the usual propellants are triple-base flashless NQ 018 and NQ 050 weighing 857 g. The Super Charge was not normally used with the Smoke projectile. Ballistic data for the charge system is as follows: Charge 1 - MV 198 m/s - max range 3,566 m Charge 2 - MV 297 m/s - max range 7,132 m Charge 3 - MV 442 m/s - max range 10,790 m.

Development The NORINCO 100 mm APFSDS-T Type 73 was developed for use with the Type 69 version of the 100 mm D-10 series tank gun fitted to the Chinese Type 69 tank. At least two versions of this round have been developed, one of which is manufactured in Pakistan by the Pakistan Ordnance Factories at Wah Cantt. It is claimed that this round is capable of defeating the armour of a T-72 tank. Description The NORINCO 100 mm APFSDS-T Type 73 is a fixed round with the projectile assembly crimped onto a brass cartridge case. The projectile assembly consists of a subprojectile and a sabot. The subprojectile consists of a monobloc dense tungsten alloy penetrator rod with a diameter of 40 mm, the front part of which has an aluminium windshield. An aluminium fin assembly with eight fins is fitted to the rear of the penetrator rod and contains a tracer element. The sabot is aluminium and consists of three 120º segments assembled around the subprojectile and interfaced with the penetrator body by a series of mating buttress grooves. The sabot is held in place by a plastic ring at the forward end and a plastic obturating band toward the sabot base. Rotating rate at the muzzle is 6,000 to 8,000 rpm. The brass cartridge case contains loose, cool-burning, multiperforated, double-base propellant. A percussion primer is fitted to the base. The projectile assembly has a muzzle velocity of 1,505 m/s. It can penetrate 150 mm of homogeneous armour plate set at an angle of 65º at a range of 2,400 m. Dispersion at 1,000 m is less than 300 × 300 mm.

RO Defence 105 mm APFSDS-T L64A4
Armament All 105 mm L7, Rh 105, M68 and CN105F1 series tank guns and South African GT7 tank gun. Development The Royal Ordnance (now BAE Systems , RO Defence) 105 mm L64A4 may be regarded as a first-generation APFSDS-T round which, when introduced into British Army service, replaced the earlier APDS rounds fired by 105 mm L7 tank guns. L7 guns are no longer used by the British Army but the L64 series is used widely by many armed forces using L7 or M68 guns. The L64A4 is licence produced by the Pakistan Ordnance Factories at Wah Cantt. Description The 105 mm L64A4 APFSDS-T is a fixed round with the projectile assembly crimped onto a standard 105 mm cartridge case. The projectile assembly consists of a subprojectile and a sabot. The L64A4 subprojectile consists of a monobloc standard tungsten alloy core acting as the penetrator rod, the front part of which has an aluminium windshield. A six-finned extruded aluminium fin assembly is fitted to the rear of the penetrator rod and contains an L14A1 tracer. The penetrator rod diameter is 28 mm. The sabot is aluminium and consists of three 120º segments assembled around the subprojectile, interfaced with the penetrator body by a series of mating buttress grooves. The sabot is held in place by a plastic band at the forward end and a slipping plastic obturating band toward the sabot base. The base of the sabot is sealed by a foam rubber collar. The 70:30 brass cartridge case contains a nominal 5.62 kg of a triple-based granular seven-hole multitubular propellant known as WNC LM1900. An L20A1 electrical primer is fitted to the base; it includes a flash tube extending almost to the tail of the projectile assembly. Before loading, the primer is normally protected by a metal clip over the base of the cartridge case. A barrel wear reducing titanium dioxide liner is secured to the interior wall of the cartridge case. The L64A4 projectile assembly has a muzzle velocity between 1,480 and 1,490 m/s, and can defeat a NATO triple heavy target or a NATO single heavy target, both at 4,000 m. Dispersion is better than 0.3 mil horizontally and vertically, out to 3,000 m. The training round for the 105 mm APFSDS L64 is the lower cost DS Prac L63 which can also be used as the ballistic equivalent for the 105 mm APFSDS-T H6/62 out to a range of 2,000 m. Round weight of the L63 is 14.91 kg of which 3.91 kg is the projectile. The cartridge case contains 3.97 kg of NQ/M07 propellant.
