For use with 105mm US M68, UK L7, CN105F1and other Stanag 4458 compliant tank guns,to provide cost effective marksmanship andlive fire training of gun crews.
The projectile consists of a sub-projectile andsabot. The sub-projectile comprises a ConeStabilized steel rod and a tracer assembledin the cone assembly. The sub-projectile iscontained in a 3-piece aluminium DiscardingSabot, held in place with a polymer band atthe forward end and a polymer obturating band at the rear end of the sabot. The projectileis crimped to the cartridge case, which is loaded with cool burning, multi-perforated, loosepropellant, and is fitted with an electric 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 asmost other existing APFSDS-T rounds, up to a range of 2.5 km. The Cone Tail design ensures thatthe maximum range of the projectile is less than 10km.
