155 mm NATO ammunition

155 mm NATO ammunition is the standardized artillery ammunition family used by compatible NATO and NATO-standard 155 mm guns and howitzers. It exists as a relationship-only catalog page because its main value is the documented compatibility link to cataloged artillery systems such as the AH-1 / PLL01 family rather than standalone conflict-use history.
