Is that a HEAT round?
- laverya 5y agoBlue is generally training [0], but the standard loadout for the A-10 was a 5:1 mix of depleted uranium API and HEI rounds. (per wiki [1]) I think there was a move to change that ratio given that they were much more likely to be shooting unarmored technicals than T-69s, though. (And you wouldn't put HEAT in a 30mm projectile anyways, far too small diameter) 0: https://fbcinc.com/source/Northrop_Resources/30_x_173mm_Full_Ammo_Suite.pdf https://fbcinc.com/source/Northrop_Resources/30_x_173mm_Full... 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAU-8_Avenger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAU-8_Avenger
