Abstract
A shell for combating air targets is provided. The shell comprises a proximity fuse with up to four seeking directions together with an explosive charge arranged in the shell. One or more fragment-forming casings are arranged in the shell. The fragment-forming casings are designed to have main directions of action aligned with the seeking directions of the proximity fuse. Therefore, on detonation of the explosive charge, the shell has ball sheaves aligned with the seeking directions.
