The 120mm “SHARD” ammunition is meant for use in battle tanks. It has a tungsten penetrator and a discarding sabot, and will initially be offered to the Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish markets.

I believe this could be beneficial for both companies, as well as for the customers”, says Vegard Sande, head of the Nammo Large Caliber Systems business unit.
