NATO / Western Calibers 20 – 40 mm
Medium caliber ammunition (20 – 73 mm) bridges the gap between small arms and heavy ordnance, delivering high-impact firepower for armored platforms and air defense systems. Designed for both Eastern and Western systems, these munitions combine destructive capability, sustained rates of fire, and adaptability across diverse combat scenarios.
NATO medium caliber ammunition is used in autocannons for land, air, and naval platforms. These rounds are designed with advanced ballistic profiles, programmable fuses, and improved lethality against a wide range of targets.
Modern ammunition includes airburst and multi-purpose programmable rounds.
