French Beluga

My French Beluga GR-66-IZ delay fuzed fragmentation submunition that I recently obtained. Thought someone might like to see it. It is about 153mm long, 66mm in diameter and weighs 1.3 kg. It contained 386 grams of RDX/TNT. Does anyone have the antitank or fragmentation submunitions they could show? Bob

We have a cutaway of the Beluga dispenser at work complete with submunitions inside. I'll see if I can get a photo next time I am near it.
