FSAPDS Ammunition 105 mm

The most effective ammunition to fight and defeat heavily armoured MBTs is the high-velocity kinetic energy ammunition fired from tank guns. This is accomplished in the current generation tank guns by firing Fin Stabilized Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot (FSAPDS) ammunition. In principle, it depends upon the high kinetic energy, super-dense, arrow-shaped, penetrator launched at hypersonic velocities to defeat the multilayer armour with which the modern MBTs are protected. The 105 mm Fin Stabilised Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot (FSAPDS) ammunition for theVijayanta andUp-GunnedT-55MBTs has been developed successfully.
