Development Originally developed for use with the 122 mm Howitzer M1938 ( M-30 ), the 122 mm Smoke D-462 is also used with 122 mm gun-howitzers of the D-30 and self-propelled M-1974 type ( 2S1 - also known as the SO-122 or Gvozdika). There are two known 122 mm Chemical projectiles, both essentially similar to the 122 mm Smoke D-462. As far as is known they were intended to be fired only by the 122 mm D-30/2S1 series of howitzers. One projectile, equipped with a point detonating fuze, weighs 22.2 kg and contains 1.3 kg of Sarin (GB), a nerve agent. The other, equipped with a time fuze, weighs 23.1 kg and contains 3.3 kg of thickened Lewisite (L), a blister agent. Both types have been withdrawn from service and are scheduled for destruction. Description The 122 mm Smoke D-462 is a separate loading round, with the projectile and cartridge case being loaded separately so that, where appropriate, the propellant charges can be altered to suit the fire mission. The body of the 122 mm Smoke D-462 projectile is forged steel with a relatively short streamlined ogive, a pronounced bourrelet and a distinct boat tail. There is a single copper drive band just over 20 mm wide. The 122 mm Smoke D-462 contains a nominal 3.6 kg of White Phosphorus (WP). A burster charge, extending halfway down the body interior from behind the fuze well, is occupied by a burster tube containing 160 g of TNT. When the nose-mounted point detonating KTM-2 fuze functions, the burster charge detonates to break open the shell body and scatter the contents. As the White Phosphorus contents come into contact with the air they start to produce a grey/white smoke cloud. No definite information regarding the smoke production duration is available but is probably 40 to 50 seconds. The 122 mm Howitzer M1938 ( M-30 ) ammunition system uses a `multisection' system of propelling charges. The total weight of the nitrocellulose powder charges is 2.2 kg, made up from a system of nine bags. The basic charge, Charge 8, is a single-base charge bag. The system is built up until the Charge 1 stage is reached which is formed by the base charge bag, four equal section bag charges in a lower layer and three equal section bag charges in an upper layer. The Full Charge is produced by adding one further bag charge to the upper layer, making a total of nine bags in all, which are all held in place by a fibre cup. They are all contained in a brass cartridge case, 284 mm long and weighing 3.25 kg, with a brass percussion primer housing, 25 mm long, threaded into the centre of the base. It is possible to use a cartridge case issued with the Full Charge ready packed and with no facility to alter the charges. This charge system produces a range of muzzle velocities from 205 m/s at the lower end (minimum range 5,350 m) up to the 515 m/s (maximum range 11,800 m) produced by the Full Charge. When the 122 mm Smoke D-462 is fired from the 122 mm Howitzer D-30 or self-propelled 2S1 a longer brass or lacquered steel cartridge case (length 447 mm, weight (steel) 3.66 kg) is involved. This can contain nitrocellulose powder in a `Reduced Charge' form containing five variable charge bags weighing a total of 2.43 kg, or a single prepacked Full Charge weighing 3.8 kg. The muzzle velocity using the Full Charge is 680 to 690 m/s and the maximum range 17,360 m. The maximum muzzle velocity using the `Reduced Charge' cartridge is 565 m/s and maximum range 15,300 m.
