The Thermobaric Mortar Bomb TB 60C is intended to be used with any type of smooth bore 60 mm Mortars of NATO Standard – such as COMMANDO Mortar M60CMA, M60MA, M2 and M19, BRANDT model 35, Tampella, Thompson Houston – Hotchkiss – Brandt Commando, M-57, M6H and M6C Hirtenberger, etc., and designed for combined defeating, both by air-blast and thermal action, of enemy manpower in urban areas, fortifications, transport means, and in the open.
Upon impacting a target, the fuze AF610 gets activated and initiates the bursting charge which, in its turn, disperses the thermobaric composition TBC-2. The thermobaric composition TBC-2 interacts with the oxygen from the air; an air-fuel composition is generated which detonates from the bursting charge. A zone characterized with overpressure and intense heat is created in the area.
