Israelian Projectile

Hi all out there,

Does anybody has information about the Israelian projectile, made by IMI,
called 105 mm APAM. (anti-personnel anti-material)
It has six submunitions and is fired from Israelian tanks.
Specially I would like information about how the thing works and specially the fuze.
Drawings would be very welcome.
The info from Jane's and the IMI site I already have.

Regards,


Chris
 
Hi Chris, I think there is a YouTube video of such a projectile in action. From far away, a cameraman on the "bad" side, pointed his shoulder mounted camera at a Merkva tank about 2 km away. The Merkva responded with a AP tank round. The footage was used to great effect for propaganda purposes. IMHO, if I was the gunner in the tank, I probably would have made the same decision. Sorry, I can't provide the link:sad:.
