<h2>Armament</h2><p>All 120 mm smoothbore mortars.</p><h2>Development</h2><p>By Simmel Difesa to provide a training bomb, allowing the point of impact to be observed from distances up to 3 km away.</p><h2>Description</h2><p>This is a conventional bomb using a steel body and extruded 12-fin steel tail unit. Most of the body space is filled with inert material, but a central tube carries 300 g of Flash, Sound and Smoke (FSS) mixture, a black-powder based composition. An impact fuze fits in the nose. On impact, the fuze ignites the FSS composition and the resulting explosion can be seen and heard for considerable distances. The bomb is broken up, but the design has been optimised to keep the danger radius to the minimum. The propelling charge is the same as the WP smoke bomb S11B, described previously and the ballistic performance, weights and dimensions are all exactly as for the S11B.</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Simmel Difesa SpA.</p>
