Explosive type Composition B
Explosive mass 30 kg
TNT equivalent 39.3 kg
HE max penetration 70 mm
Armour destruction radius 4 m
Fragment dispersion Radius 96 m

Effective damage

The m/71 has no special armour-piercing properties and does all of its damage through sheer explosive force. With an explosive mass of 39.3 kg TNTeq and an armour destruction radius of only 4 m, the bomb is most suited for precision strikes against soft targets, though a direct hit will still destroy an armoured target like an MBT.

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

See also

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:

  • reference to the article about the variant of the weapon;
  • references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.

External links

Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:

  • topic on the official game forum;
  • other literature.
