Re:Russian bombs for swop

Fuzeman,

For the 2.5 Kg PTAB have you got a cutaway drawing for it? (Mine is missing the liner and fuze assembly)

Regards

I'm not absolutely certain but I think that the submunition in question - the PTAB-2.5M-TG50, is electrically nose fuzed - (??534 fuze?). The fuze fires a spit back detonator, the flash from which initiates another detonator in the base of the shaped charge at the rear of the body. As far as I'm aware, there is no striker involved. I'll check my facts and come back to you.

The fuze when crushed produces an electrical current via its spindle.
