BK 27 Aircraft Cannon for Tornado |

The revolver cannon BK 27 was developed against the stringent requirements for Nato air forces for the use in the Tornado aircraft. Today, more than 3,000 BK 27 are in service all over the world.
This efficient BK 27 is a fully automatic gas pressure driven gun. The main features of the BK 27 mm are high performance, high kill probability and reliability using a broad variety of ammunition.
Two BK 27 are installed in the Tornado IDS (Interdictor Strike). Each of the aircraft guns comes with a mixed belt of 180 rounds of different ammunition for the deployment against air- and ground targets. The Tornado ADV (Air Defence Variant) is equipped with a single BK 27 aircraft cannon. |
