    Fapds-t 25 mm x 137 ammunition/pmb098


    frangible armour piercing discarding sabot with tracer

    The “Frangible” concept was developed to defeat both The short time of flight and devastating effects of the fran-
    “hard” and “soft” targets, without recourse to the use of gible core against a wide range of targets, makes FAPDS-T
    conventional high explosives and fuzes the essential choice for terrestrial low level air defence

    Based on the well proven Rheinmetall subcalibre techno- FAPDS-T ammunition can also be deployed together with
    logy, employing an in-situ plastic moulded sabot with inte- APFSDS-T (long rod) ammunition to provide IFVs with a
    gral driving band, the FAPDS-T ammunition benefits from potent self defence capability against both air-to-ground
    an extremely short time of flight to tactical ranges, thereby and ground-to-ground attack
    significantly increasing hit probability
    Ballistically matched subcalibre training ammunition is
    On impact, the frangible tungsten alloy core penetrates the available to ensure realistic troop training
    outer skin of the target and then progressively breaks up as
    it passes through the remaining structure. Thereby releasing
    a highly energetic fragment cloud, which causes damage
    deep inside the target and ensures a high kill probability
