Guys
I have a recognition question for you. I have been given a photograph of a projectile that I think is a french designed 90mm WP SMK low pressure projectile. possibly for GIAT produced guns mounted on Panhard, Ratel and Eland 90 to name a few.
The projectile has its fins attached directly to the warhead, it also has a grove in which a driving band probably sat.
the fuzes seems to be a PD FUI-F2 which was used on:
90K MF-1 90mm WP
MF-1 90mm WP
OFUM PH90-F1 90mm WP
OFUM-90-F2 90mm WP
I am aware that ammunition for 90mm guns are manufactured by Belgium, Brazil, France, South Africa
Does any one have a cutaway drawing for these quite distincive projectiles?
thanks
