Own a legendary piece of Cold War tank warfare history with this inert 105mm M735 APFSDS-T (Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot-Tracer) round. Developed in the 1970s as the first U.S. service-issued APFSDS-T round, the M735 was designed to counter Soviet armored threats during the height of the Cold War.
Historical Significance
The M735 APFSDS-T round was developed for the 105mm M68 tank gun, which was standard armament on U.S. and NATO M60 Patton and early M1 Abrams main battle tanks. This round was a major leap in anti-armor technology, utilizing a high-velocity, fin-stabilized tungsten penetrator to defeat Soviet T-62 and T-72 main battle tanks.
Unlike traditional armor-piercing rounds, the M735 used a sabot (discarding outer casing) to launch a long-rod tungsten penetrator at extreme speeds, allowing it to punch through enemy armor at extended ranges. The tracer element ensured gunner visibility, improving accuracy in high-speed engagements.
With the introduction of advanced Soviet composite armor, the M735 was later replaced by newer designs, including the M774 and M833 APFSDS rounds, but it remains an iconic symbol of Cold War NATO firepower.
