Penetrating the trap and exploding…76mm armor-piercing high-explosive shells for high-speed naval vessels to be domestically produced.

, ’76mm armor-piercing shells that enhance the Navy’s combat power are being produced.’,

, ‘The Defense Acquisition Program Administration announced today (13th) that it has approved the production plan for 76mm armor-piercing shells at the 109th Defense Acquisition Planning and Management Subcommittee held on the 12th.’,

, ‘Armor-piercing shells, as the name suggests, are designed to penetrate armor and cause more severe damage by penetrating the enemy’s hull and exploding internally, unlike conventional high-explosive shells that explode upon impact.’,

, ‘They can be fired from 76mm (3-inch) guns mounted on Yoon Young-ha-class high-speed ships and Chamsoori-class high-speed patrol vessels, among others.’,

, ‘Until 2019, only foreign-made armor-piercing shells were available, but domestic development began in 2019, and last November, they received combat suitability certification and are scheduled to be delivered to the Navy from 2026.’,

, ‘Kim Ho-sung, head of the Firepower Division at the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, said, “It will play a critical role in enhancing the Navy’s anti-ship operational capabilities,” adding, “We will diligently manage the project until delivery to the military.”‘,
