DEFE3/12 help needed with text in VL1796

Hello,

I am just typing up my notes on this DEFE3 file and would like some assistance with the interpretation of a couple of words in this very hard to read page.

The text that I have so far is

"Film of a FW 190 of II./SG 4 reported on 20/11/43, according information of 12/12/43 on appearance of an apparently new defensive weapon. According to observation three cylindrical ?? ??? (containers?) which were fired off the attacking aircraft. A container (?) came in contact with the aircraft.
There was a violent shock, aircraft remained capable of flying. On landing scratches were discovered on propeller and wings apparently caused by a twisted wire. Wing was badly knocked about, a brake cable on the undercarriage was broken and one undercarriage fairing torn open."



The issue is the text corresponding to the ?? and ??? above. If there are any other corrections, please advise as well.

If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Many thanks
