USE

For use with 105mm tank guns - US M68, UK L7 and French CN105F1,
to provide blast and fragmentation effect against equipment, structures
and personnel.
DESCRIPTION
The steel bodied projectile, loaded with a 2.0 kg high explosive charge,
is fitted with a gilding metal driving band and a Point Detonating impact
fuze. The projectile is assembled to a brass or steel cartridge case,
which is fitted with an electric primer and loaded with a cool burning,
single base, multi-perforated propellant. The fuze has two independent
in-bore safeties and complies with MIL-STD-1316.

105mm Tk. HE M1010
USE
For use with 105mm tank guns - US M68, UK L7 and French CN105F1, to
provide cost effective marksmanship and live fire training of gun crews.
DESCRIPTION
The projectile consists of a sub-projectile and sabot. The sub-projectile
comprises a Fin Stabilized steel rod and a tracer assembled in the fin
assembly. The sub-projectile is contained in a 3-piece aluminium
Discarding Sabot, held in place with a plastic band at the forward end
and a plastic obturating band at the rear end of the sabot. The projectile
is crimped to the cartridge case, which is loaded with cool burning,
multi-perforated, loose propellant, and is fitted with an electric primer
and a wear reducing liner. This round is similar, in appearance and
ballistic performance, to the MECAR 105mm APFSDS-T M1060 round as
well as most other existing APFSDS-T rounds, up to a range of 2.5 Kms.

USE
For use with 105mm tank guns - US M68, UK L7 and French CN105F1, to
provide cost effective marksmanship and live fire training of gun crews.
DESCRIPTION
The projectile consists of a sub-projectile and sabot.
The sub-projectile comprises a Cone Stabilized steel rod and a tracer
assembled in the cone tail. The sub-projectile is contained in a 3-piece
aluminium Discarding Sabot, held in place with a plastic band at the for-
ward end and a plastic obturating band at the rear end of the sabot.
The projectile is crimped to the cartridge case, which is loaded with cool
burning, multi-perforated, loose propellant, and is fitted with an electric
primer and a wear reducing liner. This round is similar, in appearance
and ballistic performance, to the MECAR 105mm APFSDS-T M1060
round as well as most other existing APFSDS-T rounds, up to a range of
2.5 kms.
The Cone Tail design ensures that the maximum range of the projectile
is less than 10 kms.

105mm Tk TPCSDS-T M1057
USE
For use with 105mm tank guns - US M68, UK L7
and French CN105F1, to defeat armoured targets by
means of the kinetic energy (KE) of its monobloc
tungsten alloy long rod penetrator. This model of KE
round is a major product improvement of the MECAR
105 mm APFSDS-T M1060A2.
DESCRIPTION
The projectile consists of a sub-projectile and sabot.
The sub-projectile comprises an Armour Piercing Fin
Stabilized tungsten alloy long rod penetrator,
an aluminium windshield and a tracer assembled in the fin assembly.
This is contained within a 3-piece aluminium Discarding Sabot,
held in place with a plastic band at the forward end and
a plastic obturating band at the rear end of the sabot.
The projectile is crimped to the cartridge case which is loaded
with cool burning, multi-perforated, loose propellant,
and is fitted with an electric primer and a wear reducing liner.
