35mm AA test


Recommended Posts

Gents, attached are two pictures, which I took at the Air14 last year. They show the effect of a 35mm AA shell penetrating an aircrafts armor.Looks impressive. However, I do not really understand the set-up. Is an aircrafts armor really build as sadwich construction, with each armor plate 10cm's apart? That would make for pretty thick side walls.

Can anybody enlighten me?

This has got me interested, hope we get someone in the know respond to the thread.

 

Edit: actually might have better luck posting in one of the CMx2 threads,  lots of guys don't look at the general discussion sub-forum. Just a thought.

Avional as mentioned in the 2nd picture is a high strength aluminium alloy - there's not a lot on the web about it.

but translating the info on the 2nd photo - I found reference to "Mines fire cartridge 93 with base fuse Mi Br Pat 93 BoZ " - a translation of this page (link is to google translate) under "Munitions"

There's a PDF about modern 30 & 35mm ammo here that is a good read, although I cant' tell if the ammo identified above is part of it - it's still pretty cool.....as long as you're not on the receiving end!!
