Functioning
The time fuze, set before launching, initiates the Expulsion Charge at an ideal height of 500 meters and expels the Grenades from the rear of the Projectile. The 49 grenades are dispersed due to the centrifugal force generated by the projectiles spin, in a circular pattern covering a surface of 12.000 14.000 m2 The grenades descent to the target with the charge facing downward. The attached ribbon reduces spin and at the same time stabilize the trajectory. On impact, the firing pin actuates the Explosive charge of the grenade to detonate, producing: Fragmentation in 200 active fragments Penetration of 80mm of armoured steel
