    Anyone know of an all brass submunition?

    Hi

    I just uploaded a submunition to the gallery. It looks similar to the French Beleuga GR66 (IZ/EG/AC) but couple of differences. Same parachute. All brass body without ribs. Hopefully someone has seen something similar. Otherwise I am going to conclude it's likely a training aid.

    Thanks

    Hello Hal8472,

    I saw your picture in the gallery and the first idea who's coming for me is a training aid from a kit of a firma wich I forgot the name, Miltra or something like that.

    Check carefully and I think that you will find it is anodized aluminum, not brass. It is the practice/dummy drop for the Beluga, as per your nomenclature. Here is a picture of mine.

    All dug or live ordnance shown in my posts is under EOD control and has been or will be dealt with accordingly by EOD personnel
