Additional information

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS (HEAT M456A1) This is fixed round high explosive anti-tank ammunition intended to be used against armored targets. The ammunition consists of a steel body projectile and a brass case containing the propellant charge. The body contains a funnel shaped copper liner, a PIBD fuze at the bottom, a nose cap retaining piezoelectric element and is loaded with composition B. When the projectile is detonated on impact by fuze functioning, the cone collapses, creating a high velocity shock wave and a jet of metal particles which penetrates the target.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS (HE-TK-M60) The product is high explosive ammunition with the projectile secured to the brass cartridge case and is fired with M60 series tank guns. Having a muzzle velocity of 864 m/s the projectile reaches a max range of 17,000 m in the field being effective against enemy’s personnel and materials by producing both fragmentation and blast.
