The AM-8 is a parachute round designed for long-term illumination of a battlefield, or for long-term signalling to incoming fighters. The celestium filler generates an intense light, and the fillers create impressive lightshows. The paracute can be removed from the round to create a field-expedient high-temperature incindiary munition, or placed ground flare.
