105 mm HE shell

A 105 mm HE (high-explosive) shell is a type of military artillery projectile designed to explode upon impact or in the air, dispersing a destructive blast and shrapnel. The "105 mm" indicates the shell's diameter, roughly 4 inches, used in artillery guns or tanks. HE shells are mainly used against enemy personnel, unarmored targets, or equipment, causing damage through the force of the explosion rather than penetrating armor. They are essential for suppressing enemy troops, destroying light vehicles, or clearing obstacles during combat operations.
