Armament 81 mm Brandt and other medium-pressure mortars. Development By Simmel Difesa for Italian Army mortars and for export. Description The bomb body is of thin steel and comprises the ogive and parallel-walled portion of the bomb. Behind this is the body tailcone, a push-fit into the main body and secured there by pins. Attached to the end of the tailcone is the tail unit, an alloy extrusion with a perforated tail tube and 12 fins. A primary cartridge fits into the tail tube and up to six secondary charges fit
around the tube in horseshoe containers. The bomb forebody is filled with White Phosphorus (WP) and has a central burster tube filled with 100 g of Composition B. The bomb is drop-fired in the usual manner. On impact with the target the percussion fuze detonates the Composition B, this bursts open the bomb and distributes the WP. This ignites spontaneously on contact with the air, producing dense white smoke and having a degree of incendiary effect. Manufacturer Simmel Difesa SpA.
