The sub-projectile is contained in a 3-piecealuminium Discarding Sabot, held in place with a plastic band at the for-ward end and a plastic obturating band at the rear end of the sabot. The projectile is crimped to the cartridge case, which is loaded with coolburning, multi-perforated, loose propellant, and is fitted with an electricprimer and a wear reducing liner. This round is similar, in appearanceand ballistic performance, to the MECAR 105mm APFSDS-T M1060round as well as most other existing APFSDS-T rounds, up to a range of2.5 kms.

    The Cone Tail design ensures that the maximum range of the projectileis less than 10 kms.
