30×165 mm Rounds RAPIT-C with Armour-Piercing Incendiary Tracer Projectile
NSN: 1305-50-000-0423
30×165 mm Rounds AP with Armour-Piercing Projectile
NSN: 1305-50-001-1899
30×165 mm Rounds AP-T with Armour-Piercing Tracer Projectile
NSN: 1305-50-000-0304
These rounds are used to defeat air and ground unarmored and light armored targets. The Round with a tracer projectile ensure the flight trajectory visibility and allows fire adjustment. In addition to RAPIT-C higher piercing ability the round is characterized with incendiary effect behind the armour, which distinguishes it from the known rounds with AP projectile.
The Rounds are compatible with:
Automatic guns: 2A38 / 2A42 / 2A72;
Mounted on Infantry Fighting Vehicles: BMP-2 / BMP-3 / BMD-2 / BMD-3 / BTR-80A;
Reconnaissance Vehicle “RIS” / Air-Defence Complex “Tunguska”;
Attack Helicopters Ka-50 / Mi-28 / Mi-24P.
