Nine line items cover the pyrotechnic natures held in this domain. The designation families are LP 57 for the 26.5 mm single-star signal cartridge and the MN-01, MN-01/P and MN-01-T marks for the 38 mm cartridges; the 25 mm flambeau, the 26.5 mm trip flare, the 38 mm signalling cartridge, the 38 mm muzzle blast cartridge and the 38 mm shock and flash cartridge are listed without a separate mark. Every record states a calibre and a cartridge mass, and the 38 mm marks add the mass of their pyrotechnic, signalling or active composition.

How these natures are specified in a tender annex
Pyrotechnic lines are quoted by calibre and mark, then by the output the source measures. Illuminating and signalling entries carry a burning or delay time and, where recorded, a light intensity in candela, a colour and a middle wavelength. Smoke and irritant entries carry the mass of the active charge or filling mixture, with an emission time and a range where the mark documents them. Shelf life and UN classification appear on the 38 mm records.
Designation families and what varies by model
The 38 mm MN-01 family divides by payload: MN-01 with a CS charge, MN-01/P with a plastic penetrating head, and MN-01 / MN-01-T in coloured or white smoke, the latter also offered in a three-part dispersing version. Outside that family, LP 57 quotes 6.5 to 9.5 s flare burning time and 100 to 140 m flare height, while the 25 mm flambeau is a hand-held item of 77 g with an 11 s delay.
Questions about this equipment
Is every item in this group fired from a launcher?
No. Most of the 38 mm records name a 38 mm weapon as the means of launch, and LP 57 names the 26 mm signal pistol, but the 25 mm flambeau is documented as a hand-held item 105 mm long, and the 26.5 mm trip flare is listed for the surveillance of areas, posts and facilities.
Which figures describe output rather than construction?
Light intensity, burning time and, for the smoke and irritant marks, emission time and range. Examples recorded here are 30000 cd for the 25 mm flambeau, 20000 cd for the red and white LP 57 stars, and a smoke emission time of 25 plus or minus 5 s for the 38 mm MN-01.
