"Air Weapons: SADARM 2.0 In Ukraine"

"SADARM 2.0 Another Cold War era weapon (SADARM) has shown up in Ukraine, doing what it was designed for; destroy Russian tanks."

See the You Tube video SADARM:

"155 BONUS is a 155 mm artillery cluster round, developed in cooperation between Bofors of Sweden and Nexter of France, designed for a long range, indirect fire top attack role against armored vehicles. The BONUS base bleed carrier shell contains two submunitions, which descend over the battlefield on winglets and attack hardened targets with explosively formed penetrator warheads."

"Two NATO members (Germany and Sweden) manufacture 155mm artillery shells carrying two each Sense and Destroy Armor Munitions. Originally called SADARM munitions by its American developer (Textron) it had completed development when the Cold War suddenly ended in 1991. SADARM was not as effective as expected and the 155mm version was canceled in 2001. 

American Copperhead artillery fired anti-tank round laser guided from previous decades ineffective. Modern versions of SADARM not so.

"Meanwhile the U.S. Army noticed the success of an improved German SADARM shell called SMART as well as the similar Swedish Bonus. Both entered service in 2000 and both were successful as 'SADARM 2.0'. The U.S. Army began ordering BONUS shells in 2018 and ordered more in 2020."

ANY 155 MM ARTILLERY PIECE THE NATO INVENTORY CAN FIRE THIS ROUND? SEEMS SO AND ALL THE BETTER FOR IT TOO!
