Basic parts of the 60 mm mortar bomb are the bomb body filled with active substance which may contain either explosive orsmoke composition, the nose fuze and the fin stabilizer assembly.

Bomb body consists of the steel body with nose cap to which the nose fuze is screwed. Bomb body is filled with the chargeaccording to the type of bomb. Calibre fin stabilizer is screwed at the rear part of the bomb. Fin stabilizer ensures reliablelead of the bomb in the barrel and bomb stability during flight. Stabilizer comprises duralumin pressure case with six fins

made of highly resistant plastic material manufactured by pressure injection method. Primary charge is placed in thepressure case enclosed by the primer screw P-1. Augmenting charge enabling higher range values is attached to thestabilizer. In case of an operation at the short distance this charge may be easily removed from the mortar bomb stabilizer.Mortar bombs are delivered to the customer filled with both primary and augmenting charges sealed in water-proof plasticcase. Mortar bombs are packed in a wooden case, each case contains 10 pieces of mortar bombs.

Construction of the illuminating bomb is based on the other types of our mortarbombs. In order to keep the price of the illuminating bomb at the same level asstandard ammunition the bomb is of a completely original design without theexpensive time mechanical fuze. Ejection of the illuminating flare is initiated bypyrotechnic train from the propellant charge ignition once the period determined byballistics has elapsed. The 60 mm illuminating bombs with flares on the parachutewith the range of approx. 600 m, flare burning time min. 20 seconds and luminousintensity over 250 000 Cd enable illumination of an area near the base, check-point, etc. especially at night. They also enable identification of activities in thesurrounding area deterring in human and non-lethal way the eventual but not foepersons and after that recognize movement of an enemy and ensure hiselimination by live ammunition.

The 60 mm practice mortar bomb Pract is intended for the mortar gunners to practice fire. This mortar bomb has the sameballistic characteristics as live ammunition. Bomb body is filled with signal composition and point detonating super-quickfuze mz 35/36 2000. Signal composition designates the impact point of the bomb in the terrain.The 60 mm training mortar bomb Train is intended for the initial training of the mortar gunners, especially to practicepreparation of weapon and ammunition for firing, loading, aiming and launching. Mortar bomb is reusable; the bomb isejected from the barrel by means of TEMPO 6 cartridge which is placed in the fin stabilizer of the bomb. Change of thecartridge is performed by unscrewing the fin part of the stabilizer, removing the fired cartridge shell and inserting newcartridge into the ammunition chamber of the stabilizer.

Bomb body is filled with TNT explosive for the HEF bomb (standard high-explosive) or with HTX explosive (EBX typeenhanced blast explosive) for the HEI bomb and with the smoke composition based on the red phosphor (RP) for the Smkbomb. All these bombs are equipped with the nose fuze PDSQ according to NATO standards, e.g. DM 111 A5, M111 B1,AR-MDH or MZ 95 A1 and interchangeable.
