81 mm Thermobaric Mortar Bombs TB 81
NSN: 1315-50-001-2475
The Thermobaric Mortar Bomb TB 81 is intended to be used with any type of smooth bore 81 mm Mortars of NATO Standard – such as the M81MA, M1, M29A1, M29, L16 A1/A2, M8-522, M081-61C, Tampella, ECIA IN, M8 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.
