Abstract
Anti-tank projectile with initial direct firing in overflight. This projectile comprises a device for detection of the instant of arrival in the vicinity of the target, this device acting on a sequencer which commands first the ignition of a first booster, situated at the front of the projectile and causing it to turn in a clockwise direction, its braking, and the curving of its trajectory towards the target, and then the ignition of a second booster, which being placed at the rear of the projectile, stops its turning motion. The impact on the target is then frontal.
