100MM ROUND (T-55)
The 100mm armor-piercing, fin-stabilized, detachable, and tracer round was designed for use with the main gun of the T-55 tank. This round features a long, high-density penetrator with stabilizing fins, giving it a high velocity capable of penetrating modern armored targets. The detachable casing ensures high aerodynamic efficiency, while the tracer element provides a clear view of the round's trajectory. Designed for high accuracy and superior penetration, this round offers a significant advantage in anti-armor warfare operations.

Key Specifications |
||
|
Ammunition Type: |
It is an APFSDS-T round (the "-T" stands for Tracer). This type of ammunition uses a long, thin, high-density rod to penetrate heavy armor at extremely high velocities. |
|
|
Compatible Weaponry: |
It is designed for use in 100 mm tank guns, most notably the D-10T gun series found on the T-54 and T-55 tanks. |
|
|
Design: |
The thin point at the top is the actual penetrator, while the wider ring below it is part of the "sabot" assembly that falls away (discards) once the round leaves the tank barrel, allowing the penetrator to travel at much higher speeds than a full-bore shell. |
