81 mm Illuminating Mortar Bombs ILL 81 (with AF 612 Fuze)

ILL 81: NSN 1315-50-001-4188

The 81 mm Illuminating Mortar Bomb ILL 81LD and ILL 81 are intended for artificial illumination of the target area for the purposes of reconnaissance, firing, supporting the fire of anti-tank means and for execution of other tactical actions on the battlefield.

The payload of the bomb is a movable illuminating system consisting of a parachute system and an illuminating flare.After the ejection of the illuminating system over the target, flare descent is smooth and slow due to the parachute system, and its spiral motion provides maximum illuminating effect during the whole time of flare burning.

Overview

The Mortar Bomb ILL 81LD is fuzed with MTSQ DM 93 (Mechanical time and superquick) fuze.
This Mortar Bomb is fuzed with AF612 (Pyrotechnic time and super quick) fuze.

The 81 mm Illuminating Mortar Bomb ILL 81LD can be fired from the following 81 mm Mortars of NATO Standard – M81MA, M1, M29A1, M29, L16 A1/A2, M8-522, M081-61C, Tampella, ECIA IN, M8 Hirtenberger, etc.

When firing with Mortar M1 do not fire over Charge 4.
When firing with Mortar M29 do not fire over Charge 5.
Do not fire the ILL 81LD with Ignition Cartridge only.
