This is (among other interesting things) something he has in there.... Anyone of you knows what it is?

better shot for those in need of colors.... :)

I think the lettering means the warhead was a hexagen-tritol conventional one. But as far as I know these babies were alo in nuke variant... And they did not serve in many countries... (neither nuke nor conventional ones)

FYI, color is important because it is often a key way to determine the difference between practice and live rounds.  So file yer B&W snobbiness in the basement where it belongs!  :)

Bottom pic: Fin stabilized HEAT round 125mm. Eastern Bloc stuff probably for the T-72 tank. Looking at the standoff spike I'm assuming it's been rendered inert. Hope so anyway :-)

Hit it with a hammer and let us know what happens. :D

Just kidding, pizoelectric crystal in the nose requires "setback" i.e. recoil to arm the circuit.

Where did these things come from? Gun show souveneirs or something?
