ABSTRACT:
Ammunition for combatting armored targets includes a flying body with an act end and a trailing end. A penetrating warhead is located within the flying body spaced from the impact end. Between the impact end and the warhead, a projectile in the form of a plate of inert material is provided. The surface of the plate facing the warhead is covered with an explosive charge. When the flying body impacts against a target, first the plate-shaped projectile forms an opening through the target sufficient for the warhead to pass through the opening to the interior of the target.
