\ 155 ILLUM M485A2
This projectile is for use in most 155 mm howitzers. It is used for illuminating zones during low levels of luminosity or during the night. Once the fuze setting time has elapsed, the fuze operates and ignites the expulsion charge. The combustion gases separate the cartridge and the delay is initiated. During the delay time, the fins break the rotation of the cartridge that is stabilized by the small parachute. When the delay is completed, the expulsion charge is ignited and the combustion bases separate the fuse with the parachute from the cartridge, and the flare is initiated.

ARTILLERY 152 MM
152 mm artillery ammunition from the portfolio of MSM Group is the product that was originally designed for 152 mm self-propelled gun-howitzer DANA (SpGH-77), however, this ammunition can be used with any 152 mm howitzer which is designed to withstand the pressure generated by the ammunition. The ammunition can be used against infantry, lightly armoured targets as well as against structures. MSM Group offers its customer a unique solution of an extended range of 152 mm ammunition which ensures the firing range
of 20 km for boat tail (BT) projectile and 25.5 km for base bleed (BB) projectile. All projectiles for our 152 mm ammunition are supplied with PD fuzes of our own design – KZ 88M. The fuze fulfils all NATO standards requirements for 152mm ammunition. Our 152mm ammunition has been supplied to more than 12 countries around the world and MSM Group is one of the few companies producing such ammunition within NATO and EU territory ensures maximum quality of production.

\ 152 MM BLANK
The 152 mm BLANK ammunition for 152 mm SpGH 77 perfectly enables to train activity of loading and shooting alike the utilization of live ammunition. Special plug ensures complete burning of the propelling charge during the fire. The energy created during fire is sufficient to ensure the automatic functioning of the weapon system even in extreme conditions. Considering the minimal-danger area (80 m) no firing range is demanded training and the cost of training are just a fraction of the cost needed for live ammunition fire. The ammunition can be used on ceremonial salvos too. For fire with 152 Blank ammunition, the 152 mm SpGH 77 must be equipped with a special muzzle brake limiter.

\ 105 MM HE M1
The projectile is hollow high-tensile steel forging with a boat-tailed base and a welded base cover, a streamlined ogive and a single gilding-metal driving band. The projectile may have either a normal cavity or a deep cavity, formed or drilled into the explosive filling beneath the fuze well to accept whatever fuze is to be employed. Used against personnel and material, producing fragmentation effects and shock waves.

The interior contains the ejection charge, the ignition charge, the flare canister and its parachute. The parachute is housed in a metal-sided tube that is in two halves. At the time selected, the fuze functions to ignite the ejection charge, which in turn ignites the ignition charge. The ejection charge builds up pressure which forces down on the flare canister and the tube halves. The three shear pins then break to allow the baseplate, the flare parachute and the canister to eject, with the baseplate moving to one side because of its unbalanced state. As this is happening, the ignition charge ignites the flare composition, which is magnesium and sodium nitrate bonded by a resin.
