All EU-made projectiles – 155 mm caliber

All 155 mm artillery projectiles produced by the countries of the European Union. High-explosive fragmentation, smoke, illuminating, cargo and practice projectiles from leading European manufacturers such as BAE Systems, Rheinmetall Defence, Nexter Munitions, Hellenic Defence Systems (EAS) SA, RUAG Ammotec and others are covered.

Special attention is paid to extended-rangeprojectiles that have a base-bleed unit (Base Bleed) or a rocket-assisted system (Rocket Assisted Projectile), as well as cargo munitionsthat use submunitions for maximum target damage.

European manufacturers of 155 mm ammunition follow the standards of NATO JBMoU (Joint Ballistics Memorandum of Understanding), which ensures their compatibility with modern artillery systems with barrel lengths of52, 45 and 39 calibers.
