A spin-stabilised artillery projectile ( ) can be easily subsequently fitted with an axially symmetrical aerodynamic braking device for reducing the ballistic trajectory if the tip ( ) which is equipped with the fuse ( ) and which is easily removable from the projectile body ( ) is equipped at approximately half its height with flap-shaped sectors ( ) which are pivotably mounted in such a way that they can be pivotably extended and which in their launch position fit snugly into the conical peripheral surface of the tip ( ) and in the operative position are pivotably extended to form a radial ring which is closed or which has gaps.
