ABSTRACT:
An ammunition unit (1) comprising a shaped-charge warhead which can be ignited by means of direct impact on a target (15), by means of a proximity fuze (16,17) and/or an external signal (29). The warhead has preferably an inclined position so that its longitudinal axis (5,5') is forming an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis (1b) of the unit. The warhead (4,4') is tiltable in the unit from said initial position into another inclined position depending on the type of ignition. In case of an overflying missile its warhead is directed towards the rear parts of a target, i.e. on the other side of the target seen from the direction of the flight.
