angle of gun combined with HE or smoke ammu-
nition would provide company commanders with
various solutions in difficult environments such
as mountainous, forested and urbanized terrain.
The High-Explosive Squash Head (HESH) ammu-
nition, originally designed as AP round, is very
effective against bunkers and building walls, there-
fore would be best employed in cities or to destroy
reinforced-concrete fortifications. Thanks to the
large caliber, other, less typical, typical ammunition
could be used. An example here might be a can-
ister round, which gives 'shot-gun effect', but on
larger scale, which could find best employment in
engagement on short distances against personnel
targets in urbanized or forested terrain.
Arguably, a larger caliber of cannon, i.e. 120 mm,
instead of bringing further advantages, it could
reduce them. First, a 105 mm cannon allows the
installation of turret systems equipped with such
barrel on light chassis. Second, the smaller caliber
allows, because of its overall dimensions, higher
angle of barrel elevation. Both advantages brought
by 105 mm cannon make the FSV WILK very useful
vehicles
