100 mm 3UBK10-1 and 3UBK10M-1 rounds with
Armament 100 mm D-10 series gun on T-55AM2P , T-55AM2B and T-55AMV MBTs. Development The 100 mm 3UBK10-1 round with 9M117 gun-launched missile (also known by the NATO codename of AT-10 `Stabber'), is one component of the 9K116-1 Bastion gun-launched missile system fitted to the T-55 AM2B tank and others in the same series. The 9K116-1 Bastion system can be retrofitted to early models of T-55 tanks. The 100 mm 9M117 missile is a laser beam-riding missile that can be fired from a conventional rifled 100 mm D-10 series gun barrel. It is guided towards its target by the 1K13 fire-control sight. Each T-55 MBT can carry six 100 mm 9M117 gun-launched missile rounds. In 1996, the 100 mm 9M117M missile, part of the 3UBK10M-1 round, was announced. The main change from the standard 9M117 missile, is the introduction of a tandem warhead capable of defeating active armour. During 1999 the 9M117M1 Arkan round was introduced with a potential range increase to 5,000-5,500 m, once a few minor modifications have been made to the existing fire-control system and guidance units. The 9K116-1 Bastion system was developed by the KBP design bureau (Design Bureau for Instrument Building) at Tula, also known as Tulamashzavod. An adaptation of the Bastion system for 105 mm tank guns has been proposed capable of producing a hit probability of 0.8 over ranges of 100 to 5,000 m. Known as Spear, this 105 mm version is marketed in conjunction with Diehl and Krauss Maffei of Germany (see separate entry). Description The complete 100 mm 3UBK10-1 gun-launched missile round resembles a piece of conventional ammunition. It is a fixed round with the missile projectile secured to the cartridge sleeve by a crimping ring just behind the copper drive band on the projectile body. However, the body of the missile extends almost to the base of the cartridge sleeve and the missile contains its own rocket motor. The 100 mm 3UBK10-1 gun-launched missile round is handled and loaded in the same manner as a conventional round. Once it is chambered, the laser section of the fire-control system, including the 1K13 tracker unit with a built-in missile guidance laser channel, is used to select and track a target and the missile is fired electrically. A 12/1 tubular ejection charge, containing a high nitrogen content in the cartridge sleeve, propels the missile along the barrel so that, once clear of the muzzle and after 1.5 seconds, a sustainer rocket motor cuts in to provide propulsion for approximately 6 seconds. During the early part of its trajectory and once a base unit has been jettisoned, stabilising fins at the tail unfold while small control fins are deployed pyrotechnically from the nose portion. Internal gyros are used to control the trajectory. The 9M117 missile can only be launched once the infra-red laser section of the fire-control system is switched on. The gunner places his aiming point on the target and maintains it there before and after the gun is fired. Laser receivers on the missile tail receive encoded trajectory correction signals. These are processed to alter the position of the nose-located control fins and thus guide the missile towards its target. The 9M117 missile has a 9H136M shaped charge warhead, formed from OKFOL-3.5 (HMX/Wax 95/5), located in the portion of the missile body behind the nose and control fin area and ignited by a 9E256 point detonation/graze actuated fuze. No confirmed details are available regarding the penetration capability of the 9H136M warhead but it is understood to be 650 mm of passive armour; a more conservative reference quotes 550 mm (which seems the more likely, especially as one Russian sales brochure quotes only 275 mm). The maximum engagement range of the 9K116 Bastion system is 4,000 m and minimum range 100 m. Time of flight to 4,000 m is 12 to 13 seconds. If the 9M117 missile misses its target it will self-destruct after an interval of 26 to 41 seconds. The 9M117M missile used with the 3UBK10M-1 round differs in having a tandem warhead formed by a precursor charge and a main shaped charge. The missile length is increased to 1.106 m although the missile weight remains at 18.4 kg. Armour penetration performance is quoted as 550 mm of rolled homogeneous armour and it is capable of defeating reactive armour. All other operating and other details are identical to those of the standard 9M117 missile. The exact production status of the 9M117M missile is uncertain although sales brochures promote it as part of a T-55 MBT update package along with upgraded armour. The 9M117M1 Arkan missile, introduced during 1999, has a potential maximum effective range of 5,000 to 5,500 m, once minor modifications have been made to the fire-control system and guidance units. Without the modifications the maximum effective range remains at 4,000 m. Armour penetration performance is given as 700 to 750 mm, although a complete penetration of Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) is not assured. At least two hits are required to penetrate ERA. The 9M117M1 Arkan missile can be used with all other 100 mm gun/launcher systems, including the 2A70 used on the BMP-3 IFV.

Ammunition for 100 mm T-12 and MT-12 anti-tank
Armament 100 mm T-12 ( 2A19 ) and MT-12 ( 2A29 ) anti-tank guns; 100 mm M87 towed anti-tank gun TOPAZ ( Yugoslavia ). Development The 100 mm T-12 ( 2A19 ) towed anti-tank gun, which entered service in 1960, differs from other 100 mm guns of Russian Federation and Associated States (CIS) origin by having a smoothbore barrel in place of the usual rifling. The T-12 therefore fires a different family of ammunition, as does a later variant with a revised carriage known as the MT-12 Rapira (Rapier) or 2A29 . The 100 mm M87 towed anti-tank gun TOPAZ was developed in Yugoslavia . It is a combination of the ordnance from the RFAS MT-12 ( 2A29 ) and the carriage of the locally produced 122 mm D-30J towed howitzer. It does not appear to have entered production. Although the Chinese NORINCO 100 mm Type 73 and Type 86 towed anti-tank guns are understood to be based on the T-12/MT-12 designs, it is not confirmed that their ammunition is interchangeable. The rounds outlined in the text are the latest production versions produced by the Engineering Research Institute based in Moscow. The 100 mm T-12/MT-12 rounds produced in Bulgaria are earlier models which vary slightly in weights and performance but are essentially similar. The Kastet round is not produced in Bulgaria . Description All 100 mm T-12/MT-12 rounds are fixed, with the projectiles rigidly secured to the lacquered steel cartridge cases. In general terms the projectiles differ from other similar 100 mm projectiles, by their ability to be fired from smoothbore barrels. The cartridge cases also have a revised outline with a pronounced neck two-thirds of the way up from the base, thereby indicating the development from the 115 mm calibre. There are four main types of anti-armour projectile: the guided Kastet; an APFSDS-T; a HEAT-T; and a HE-FS. The T-12/MT-12 can fire the 3UBK10 and UBK10M Kastet gun-launched guided missile round with a projectile virtually identical to the 9M117 projectile, intended for rifled 100 mm and 115 mm guns (qv). The 9M117 was originally developed for use with the T-12/MT-12 anti-tank guns and is part of the 9K116 Bastion system. The Kastet is fired towards its intended target by the normal gun crew but once in flight the projectile is guided by an operator located close to the gun and using a 9S53 laser target designator. This enables the gun crew to engage another target immediately after the Kastet has been fired. The maximum range is 4,000 m and minimum range 100 m. Armour penetration behind reactive armour is claimed to be between 650 and 700 mm but is more likely to be of the order of 275 and 550 mm. Weight of a complete Kastet round is 24.5 kg, of which 18.4 kg is the 9M117 missile, although some reference state these figures are 25 kg and 17.6 kg respectively . In 1996, the 100 mm 9M117M missile, part of the 3UBK10M round, was announced. The main change from the standard 9M117 missile is the introduction of a tandem warhead capable of defeating from 275 to 550 mm of active armour or 600 mm of conventional armour. The projectile weight is increased to 19.4 kg. Weight of a complete 3UBK10M round is 27.5 kg. Time of flight to 4,000 m is 13.5 seconds. The APFSDS-T, also referred to as a HVAPFSDS-T, has the designation 3UBM10 and fires the 3BM-24 projectile assembly weighing 4.55 kg. The projectile assembly is essentially similar to that employed with the 100 mm UBM-8 APFSDS-T round, fired from D-10 series tank guns. The cartridge case contains 8.75 kg of propellant. With a muzzle velocity of 1,548 m/s the 3BM-24 can penetrate 406 mm of armour set at an angle of 0º at 500 m and 225 mm at 1,000 m. Maximum effective range has been estimated at 2,000 m. The fin-stabilised HEAT-T has the designation 3UBK-8 and has the 3BK-16M projectile weighing 9.5 kg with a shaped warhead using A-IX-1 (RDX/Wax) explosive initiated by a GPV-2 PIBD fuze. The cartridge case contains 4.69 kg of propellant which produces a muzzle velocity of 1,075 m/s. The warhead can penetrate 400 mm of armour. The designation of the HE-FS round, also known as FRAG-HE-FS, is 3UOF-12, with a 3OF-35 projectile. It weighs 28.9 kg of which 16.7 kg is the projectile. It has a muzzle velocity of 700 m/s to provide a maximum indirect fire range of 8,200 m. The nose-mounted PD fuze is a V-429E.

30 mm NR-30 aircraft cannon ammunition
Armament 30 mm Nudelmann-Richter NR-30 Cannon; 30 mm Automatic Aircraft Gun Type 1. Development The 30 mm Nudelmann-Richter NR-30 was the standard Soviet aircraft cannon from 1955 onwards, but it was superseded by later designs. It is now only used on the older types of fighter aircraft, such as the MiG-19, supplied to states receiving Russian Federation and Associated States (CIS) military aid and is now little encountered in the RFAS. The 30 mm NR-30 is still employed and manufactured in China as the 30 mm Automatic Aircraft Gun Type 1. The 30 mm Type 1 is the standard gun fitted to the Chinese F-6, the much modified Chinese version of the MiG-19, and has a rate of fire of approximately 900 rds/min. The rounds, some of which have been developed locally, are formed into belts using pressed steel links. Description There are seven main types of 30 mm NR-30 ammunition, HEFI, HEFI-T, HE-I, APE, AP-T, CC and Anti-radar. All of these rounds are fixed with the projectiles rigidly secured to their brass cartridge case by two 360º crimping rings fitting into cannelures in the projectile body. A raised belt is located just in front of the wide extraction groove at the base of the cartridge case. Projectile bodies are forged steel and are fitted with a copper or gilding metal drive band. On the HEFI and HEFI-T a weatherproof A-30 or B-30 point detonating fuze is fitted to the nose. The explosive filling is 36.9 g of A-IX-2 (desensitised RDX/Aluminium). The HEI is a high-explosive incendiary round which equates to the Western Bloc SAPHEI. Intended for use against sensor-carrying balloons and similar lightly constructed aerial platforms. It is provided with a highly sensitive nose fuze provided with a self-destruct element operating from 12 to 20 seconds after firing. The fuze is armed at a distance of from 30 to 250 m from the gun muzzle. The APE uses a VLM-30 base detonating fuze to ignite the 25 g explosive payload. The fuze also contains a self-destruct element functioning 14 to 20 seconds after leaving the gun muzzle. Armour penetration at 700 m is 20 mm of armour set at an angle of 60º. The same penetration performance is achieved by the AP-T projectile on which the tracer element burns for 2 seconds. The CC (Cargo Carrying) round carries a `multiple element projectile' containing 28 bullet-shaped heavy metal subprojectiles, each weighing 35 g. The subprojectiles are ejected forwards from 1.1 to 1.5 seconds after firing to form a destructive cone effective against personnel and soft-skinned targets on the ground. The Anti-radar round carries a projectile from which approximately six radar jamming chaff particles are ejected while the projectile is still in flight. Two different lengths of chaff element are available to suit the types of radar likely to be encountered. Ejection takes place from 6 to 8 seconds after the projectile leaves the gun muzzle so that after 30 seconds the chaff will form an effective reflective cloud covering 14 to 18.5 m 2. A TP cartridge is completely inert and has a plug in place of the nose fuze. At one point various TP rounds were produced for air or ground targets, apparently with different types of target strike indication elements. The cartridge case is drawn brass and contains 95 g of a single base propellant known as 5/7 B/A or 6/7 FL. There is a percussion primer in the base. The muzzle velocity of this round is 795 to 800 m/s but the effective range is stated to be limited to 800 m. The `direct fire range' is 600 m. Maximum useful range is 2,000 m.

73 mm ammunition for SPG-9 recoilless gun
Armament 73 mm SPG-9 and SPG-9M Kopye recoilless guns. Development The 73 mm SPG-9 Kopye (Spear) recoilless gun was developed as a light and highly mobile anti-tank gun for use by airborne and special forces although it is now more likely to be deployed as a general purpose fire support weapon. It is still widely deployed throughout Eastern Bloc and other armed forces and is still in production in several nations. The ammunition was used as the basis for the rounds fired by the 2A28 gun (see previous entry) and in many instances the projectiles and warheads involved are identical between the two guns; only the propelling system differs. Description The base round fired from the 73 mm SPG-9 gun is the HEAT-FS PG-9V or PG-9VN with, respectively, the HEAT-FS PG-9 or PG-9N rocket projectile. The projectiles differ in the warhead explosive employed. The PG-9 has a Hexogen A-IX-1 (RDX:Wax) shaped charge weighing 332 g while the PG-9N has 340 g of the more powerful OKFOL-3.5 (95 per cent HME: 5 per cent Wax). The 4BN27 propellant charge, employed on both projectiles, is the PG-9PR secured to the tail of the projectile just behind the six forward-folding fins which spring out once the projectile has left the muzzle . On target, the shaped warhead is initiated by a VP-9 piezoelectric point impact fuze via an igniter in the base of the shaped charge. The PG-9 warhead can penetrate 300 mm of armour while the PG-9N can penetrate 400 mm. Maximum range of both projectiles is 1,300 m while the direct fire range at a target 2 m high is 800 m. Muzzle velocity in both cases is 435 m/s. The latest round is the PG-9VS for which the maximum direct fire range is increased to 1,300 m. No armour penetration figures have been released regarding this round although the shaped charge can penetrate at least 1.5 m of brick and 1 m of reinforced concrete. Also available is the 73 mm HEAT-FS PG-9VNT with the PG-9NT rocket projectile. This round is effective against Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) as it has tandem warheads actuated by a VP-9 piezoelectric point impact fuze. Warhead performance is stated to be 550 mm of RHA with behind-armour effects; 400 mm of armour behind ERA; 1 m of reinforced concrete or brick; and 1.8 m of logs and earth. Maximum effective range is 700 m while maximum range is 1,200 m; initial velocity is 400 m/s. A complete round weighs 3.2 kg and overall length is 920 mm. The span of the fully opened guidance fins is 190 mm. By contrast, the basic 73 mm FRAG-HE rounds, a later development, do not have a rocket motor. There are two basic types of FRAG-HE round, the OG-9V and OG-9VM, differing only in the weight and type of explosive in the 309 mm long cast-iron warhead on the projectile. The OG-9 FRAG-HE projectile warhead used with the OG-9V round contains 753 g of TNT while the OG-9M projectile used with the OG-9VM round contains 655 g of TD-50 (TNT/dinitronaphthalene). In both cases the explosive is ignited by a nose-mounted GO-2 or O-4M point detonating fuze. Flight stabilisation is provided by six fixed fins on the end of a perforated steel tailboom which also contains a tracer element. The propellant employed is 4BN40 . The latest FRAG-HE round is the OG-9VM1 with a total weight of 5.35 kg. Two further 73 mm FRAG-HE rounds are Bulgarian developments, the OG-9BG and OG-9BG1, with OG-9G and OG-9G1 projectiles respectively. The usual streamlined outline of the 750 g explosive warhead is replaced by a cylinder with serrated wire rings around the explosive to enhance fragmentation, although late production variants do have a more pointed nose profile and fragmentation is augmented by the inclusion of 1,200 2 g metal pellets. The point detonating fuze employed is the O-4M in both cases. The OG-9BG (weight 6.9 kg) has a muzzle velocity of 250 m/s and a maximum range of 7,500 m. The OG-15BG1 round (weight 4.48 kg) has a muzzle velocity of 316 m/s and a maximum range of 4,200 m. The direct fire ranges are 400 and 350 m respectively.

Development The 122 mm HEAT-FS-T BK-13 is the latest model of fin-stabilised HEAT projectile intended for firing from towed D-30 and self-propelled 2S1 howitzers. The complete round is known as the 3UBK-9. There is also a BK-13M projectile for use with 2S1 self-propelled howitzers. A projectile similar to the BK-13M has been produced in Poland as the BK-13MP. Description The 122 mm HEAT-FS-T BK-13 projectile is normally fired as a fixed round, the 3UBK-9, although it is apparently possible to separate the projectile and its cartridge case. The 3UBK-9 round uses its own particular type of cartridge case loaded with a fixed propellant charge. The steel body of the 122 mm HEAT-FS-T BK-13 projectile has straight sides and a blunt nose with a central boom carrying the fuze impact sensor. A solid slipping drive band 28.19 mm wide is made of copper. A tubular boom assembly carrying six forward-folding fins protrudes from the base. These fins snap out once the projectile has left the muzzle and when fully deployed have a span of 369.16 mm. The boom assembly carries a tracer element. The steel projectile body contains 1.8 kg of A-IX-1 (RDX/Wax) explosive formed behind a conical metal liner. An internal connection from the nose-mounted piezoelectric impact sensor to the V-15 point impact base detonating fuze will detonate the main charge and utilise a wave shaper to create a high-temperature particle jet estimated to be capable of penetrating approximately 400 mm of armour at any range. Unlike most other projectiles in the 122 mm D-30/2S1 range, the 122 mm HEAT-FS-T BK-13 projectile is combined with its own specific 447 mm long lacquered steel cartridge case with a fixed propellant load consisting of 3.8 kg of 12/7, 12/7 Tr and VTH-10 propellant ignited by a KV-U or KV-4 percussion primer. This produces a muzzle velocity of 690 m/s and a maximum effective range of 1,000 m.

152 mm 3RB30 VHF Radio Jammer Cargo
Armament 152 mm Gun-Howitzer D-20 ; 152 mm Gun-Howitzer 2A65 ( M1987 or MSTA-B); 152 mm 2A61 Howitzer. Self-propelled equipments include: 152 mm Self-propelled Howitzer M-1973 ( 2S3M ); 152 mm 2S19 Self-propelled Gun-Howitzer. Development The 152 mm 3RB30 VHF Radio Jammer Cargo projectile 3RB30 is intended for the jamming of tactical communication networks and is used with the latest generation of Russian Federation and Associated States (CIS) 152 mm long-barrelled Gun-Howitzers. As with other projectiles in this ammunition generation, it is issued together with a choice of three preloaded cartridge cases of varying lengths containing the variable propellant charges. The complete rounds are combined under the designation 3VRB38. There is also a Full Charge and a Reduced Charge. This 3RB30 projectile was developed as part of a joint Russian-Bulgarian association. The 3RB30 round appears to have been the result of the Russian part of the association, the Bulgarian contribution being the rounds for the earlier series of 152 mm artillery pieces (see following entry). There are equivalent Russian projectile and rounds intended primarily for firing from D-20 and 2S3M howitzers. The projectile remains the same as for the long-barrelled howitzers but only two propellant charges and rounds are involved. The Full Charge round is the 3VRB37 and the Reduced Charge round the 3VRB38. Ballistic performances will vary accordingly. Description As with other rounds in the 152 mm family, the 152 mm VHF Radio Jammer Cargo Projectile 3RB30 is a separate loading munition. It uses the same carrier projectile as the 152 mm ICM 3-O-23 (see separate entry in this section). The steel carrier body has relatively thin steel walls, a long streamlined ogive, single copper drive band and a base unit with a hollow boat-tail outline secured to the base. The interior contains a single VHF radio jammer body which is ejected through the base when the nose-mounted time fuze functions at the preselected time igniting an expulsion charge inside the ogive. The jammer body will then be ejected to fall to the ground, stabilised in flight by four tail-mounted pop-out fins. This ensures the jammer body falls nose first, so that the nose spike enters the ground allowing a folded antenna to unfurl upwards from within the rear of the tail unit. There are seven ready-loaded jammer bodies to choose from, covering a frequency range of 1.5 to 120 MHz; 3NS30 projectiles are apparently issued in sets of seven. Each VHF radio jammer transmitter body weighs 8.2 kg and can transmit jamming signals over a radius of 700 m for 1 hour. The cartridge cases involved with the three propellant charges are lacquered steel with a KV-4 percussion primer in the base. No information is available regarding the weights and types of propellant involved although it is known that there are three charges available, the maximum possible range being 22,000 m.

23 × 152B mm
Synonyms 23 × 152B; 23 mm Soviet VYa Armament ZU-23 and ZSU-23-4 anti-aircraft guns; Mvlkov-Yarzev VYa-23 aircraft guns; subcalibre devices. Development The 23 × 151 mm cartridge was developed in 1940 for the VYa aircraft cannon, a weapon widely adopted by the Soviet Air Force, notably in the Ilyushin Il-2 `Stormovik' ground-attack fighter. The VYa cannon was replaced by other types, but the basic cartridge was adapted for the ZU-23 cannon, which first appeared as an aircraft gun but is now used solely as an air defence ground gun. The ZSU-23, as the ground gun is known, and its self-propelled variant the ZSU-23-4 , were both widely distributed throughout the former Warsaw Pact and many other countries. In 1993 it was revealed that the South African Defence Force (SADF, now the SANDF) had acquired numbers of ZU-23 weapons during the Angolan conflict, and that these had been assimilated into South African service as self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. As a result, manufacture of the appropriate ammunition now takes place in South Africa . Oerlikon Contraves Pyrotec AG of Switzerland introduced a 23 × 152B FAPDS-T round during 1997. It is understood that this round forms part of a 23 mm ZSU-23 air defence gun upgrade package proposed by Sako of Finland . Description The case is rimless, belted, bottlenecked and of brass or, more usually, steel. While dimensionally similar, ammunition for the VYa and ZU-23 guns is not functionally interchangeable. Cartridges for the VYa gun had brass cases and a screwed-in percussion primer. Those for the ZU-23 use steel cases and an extended-tube KV-3 primer which is pressed in and cannot be removed. Brass or steel cases are manufactured for the subcalibre training device for tank guns. The following are the most commonly encountered types of this ammunition: HEI: Also known as HEFI. The projectile consists of a steel shell filled with AIX-2 explosive ignited by a PD MG-25 nose fuze. The projectile has a copper drive band. The steel case contains approximately 77 g of 5/7 CFL propellant in powder form ignited by a KV-3 primer to provide an initial muzzle velocity of 970 to 980 m/s. This provides an effective horizontal range of 2,500 m or 1,500 m in altitude. HEI-T: Also known as HEFI-T. As HEI but with tracer burning for at least 5 seconds. API-T: Solid steel projectile body with steel ballistic cap and tracer assembly in the base. The steel case contains approximately 76 g of 5/7 CFL propellant in powder form ignited by a KV-3 primer to provide an initial muzzle velocity of 970 to 980 m/s. This provides an effective horizontal range of 2,500 m or 1,500 m in altitude. The tracer burns for at least 5 seconds. The projectile can penetrate 10 mm of armour, assuming an impact angle of 30º and an impact velocity of 530 m/s. TP-T: As HEI-T but the projectile is filled with an inert mixture. Subcalibre AP-T: Intended for use with a subcalibre barrel insert intended for low-cost gunnery training. The round closely resembles that for the API-T but has a silver tip painted on the nose and the propellant charge is reduced to 73 g of 5/7 CFL propellant in powder form. The slightly reduced propellant charge in the brass or steel case results in a muzzle velocity of 910 m/s and the round weight is 447 g. Horizontal range is 1,800 m. Blank: This cartridge consists of the steel case only with the mouth crimped over. The contents are 35 g of VTJ powder ignited by a KV-3 primer.

115 mm HE-FRAG(FS) 3OF18, 3OF27 and 3OF28
Armament 115 mm U-5TS (2A20) tank gun; Royal Ordnance (now RO Defence)115 mm tank gun. Development The general purpose 115 mm HE-FRAG(FS) 3OF18 projectile is referred to in Eastern Bloc literature as an extended range projectile. It replaced the earlier 3OF11 but has now been joined by what are described as third-generation HE-FRAG(FS) known as the 3OF27 and 3OF28. Compared to the 3OF18, these have a slightly revised outline, thinner body walls and a heavier filling consisting of a more powerful explosive. Many early models of the T-62 tank may not be able to use the 3OF27 or 3OF28 due to fire control system limitations. The 3OF18 projectile is utilised with the 3UOF6 round while the 3OF27 is used with the 3UOF37 round. The earlier 3OF11 was used with the 3UOF1 round. The 3UOF37 round appears to be the only version in this series in current production. Manufacturing is carried out by the Engineering Research Institute (NIMI) based in Moscow. Out of its normal combat load of 40 rounds a T-64 normally carries 19 HE-FRAG(FS) rounds. Description The 115 mm HE-FRAG(FS) 3OF18, 3OF27 and 3OF28 projectile assemblies are crimped into brass cartridge cases to form fixed rounds. The projectiles are steel and conventional in body outline but the 3OF27 and 3OF28 have a slightly longer streamlined ogive. The wall thickness of the 3OF18 is 13.34 mm at the bourrelet while the 3OF27 is 12.62 mm. The single copper drive band on the 3OF18 is 10.92 mm wide, while on the 3OF27 it is 11.33 mm wide. Bodies have a boat-tailed base with the bases threading into a steel boom extension carrying four steel forward-folding fins. The fins snap out once the projectile has left the muzzle; the diameter is 325.12 mm. The explosive filling for the 3OF18 is 2.788 kg of TNT, for the 3OF27 it is 3.062 kg, while for the 3OF28 it is 3.1 kg. In the last two cases the explosive is A-IX-20 (75 per cent RDX, 22 per cent Aluminium and 3 per cent Wax). Projectiles are fitted with a nose-mounted V-429E point detonating fuze made of steel. The rimmed brass (4G10A) or lacquered steel (4G9) cartridge case has an unusual shape as it is necked approximately halfway along its length. The contents consist of 4.65 kg of DG-4 15/1 propellant. The base is fitted with a KV-5-U electrical primer with a long flash tube. The muzzle velocity of the 3OF18 is 750 m/s; for the 3OF27 and 3OF28 it is 800 m/s. Maximum effective combat range is between 1,500 and 2,000 m and the maximum possible range is of the order of 9,500 m, although accuracy at that range will be minimal. A training round intended specially for training tank crews is the 115 mm 3UOFT6 training round with a 3OFT18 HE-T projectile. The projectile is fired at a muzzle velocity of 800 m/s and emits four independent No 1 tracers for up to 5 seconds from a location in the base so that the trajectory can be followed for training assessment and marking purposes. As the projectile passes through a soft training target the nose-mounted VUBS-1M super-quick point detonating fuze functions to detonate the projectile's TNT bursting charge less than 5 m behind the target. Should the projectile fail to hit a target it will self-destruct after about 4 to 6 seconds at a maximum range of 12,230 m. The complete 3UOFT6 round weighs 30.8 kg and has a steel cartridge case containing 4.65 kg of DG-4 15/1 propellant. The 115 mm 3UOFT6 training round is marketed by Kintex of Bulgaria .

100 mm HEAT-FS BK-5M
Armament 100 mm D-10 series tank guns (including NORINCO Type 59 ); 100 mm field gun BS-3; NORINCO 100 mm field gun and 100 mm anti-tank gun Type 73; 100 mm Field Gun M53 ; 100 mm towed anti-tank gun M1977 ; 100 mm towed anti-tank gun M1977 ( Romania ); 100 mm Coast Gun ( Yugoslavia ). Development The 100 mm HEAT-FS BK-5 projectile was first issued during the 1950s. In its later BK-5M form it is still carried by many T-54/T-55 tank units as a small proportion of the combat load, usually only three rounds out of a total load of 34 ( T-54 ) or 43 ( T-55 ). The BK-5M has been referred to as the ZBK-5M, although the complete round designation is 3UBK-4. Tank units of the Russian Federation and Associated States (CIS) now use an improved version of this projectile known as the 3BK17M (see following entry). The BK-5M has also been produced in Bulgaria , China (Type 73), Czech Republic , Romania , Slovakia and Yugoslavia . In Bulgaria and Yugoslavia it was known as the HEAT-T M69 (probably no longer in production). Description The 100 mm HEAT-FS BK-5M is used with a fixed round, with the finned steel projectile rigidly secured to the brass cartridge case by a single shallow crimping ring. The base of the projectile, inside the cartridge case, is supported on a steel slip band seat while the projectile body is encircled by two copper drive bands set 21.6 mm apart. The front of the projectile has a conical ogive with the nose carrying a piezoelectric impact sensor connected internally to a VP-9 or GPV-2 super-quick base detonating fuze. When the fuze functions it ignites the explosive filling of 1.038 kg (nominal) of A-IX-1 (RDX/Wax). The filling is set behind a conical internal liner, to form a shaped charge producing a high-temperature particle jet capable of penetrating up to 380 mm of armour at any range. The base of the projectile carries an extension boom mounting six forward-folding steel fins. The fins snap out for flight stabilisation once the projectile has left the gun muzzle; when extended they have a diameter of 368.08 mm. The tailboom also contains a No 12 tracer element. The brass cartridge case (lacquered steel may also be used) contains approximately 4.65 kg of 18/1 Tr and 14/7 propellant in stick and powder form. A KW-13U percussion primer is threaded into the base. Brass cases are made of MK-75 brass and weigh 8.5 kg. The flange diameter is 147.5 mm. The 100 mm HEAT-FS BK-5M has a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s. Although it can penetrate up to 380 mm of armour set at 0º and 190 mm set at 60º, it has been calculated that the hit probability against a static tank sized target at 1,000 m is only 43 per cent. At 2,000 m the hit probability is reduced to a negligible 2 per cent. Maximum possible range is approximately 3,000 m.

RFAS 122 mm BM-21 Grad series rockets
Armament All 122 mm BM-21 Grad (9K51) series MRS, plus similar MRS produced in the People's Republic of China (Type 90 and 90A, Type 83, Type 81, Type 81-1 and truck-mounted Type 83 24-round launcher), Croatia ( Typhoon M96 ), the former Czechoslovakia (RM-21, RM-40, RM-70 and the updated Mod 70/85), Egypt ( 122 mm SAKR series), India (LRAR), Iran (Hadid 40-tube mobile launcher and 8-tube naval launcher), Iraq , North Korea (BM-11), Pakistan , Romania (40 APRA, 12 ARO plus other truck, light vehicle and trailer-mounted launchers, 40-round naval and coastal defence launchers, including 40 APRN) and Turkey ( T-122 ). To these can be added the RFAS `Damba' coastal defence rocket system, although these usually carry special underwater target rockets. The 122 mm BM-21 series of rockets can also be launched from 122 mm 9A51 Prima 50-round launchers. Naval 122 mm launchers with 20 tubes have been produced; NORINCO produces a naval 40-tube 122 mm MRS while Iran produces a naval 8-tube launcher. Development Initial development work on the Soviet 122 mm artillery rockets commenced during the late 1940s to supplement and eventually replace the Great Patriotic War era 82 mm and 132 mm `Katyusha' MRS from the mid-1950s onwards. Splav of Tula was the main design bureau under the leadership of A Ganichev, with the final development being completed during 1963. The number of 122 mm MRS types developed gradually until, by 1964, the standard version had become the 122 mm BM-21 Grad (Hail) series with its 40-tube launcher array. This is carried on ZIL-131 , Ural-375D or Ural-4320 6 × 6 trucks, although there have been many other types of vehicle and launcher combinations. These include the 122 mm BM-21V (Grad-V) 12-launcher system mounted on GAZ-66 4 × 4 trucks and the 122 mm 9P132/BM-21-P man-portable single-tube launchers for use by special forces. (The latter launch the special shorter 122 mm 9M28/DKZ-B rockets that can also be launched from standard multiple-tube launchers.) The main producer of the 122 mm BM-21 Grad rocket series is the State Research and Production Association `Splav' at Tula. In June 1996, it was announced that CELERG of France and Splav of Russia had completed joint designs for enhanced range BM-21 Grad rockets. It was anticipated that the new designs will have a maximum range of 36,000 m, using composite propellants, and will feature increased accuracy. Little has been heard of this programme of late, although in 2000 Splav announced a range of 122 mm enhanced performance rockets (see later in entry). The BM-21 Grad MRS is in service in one form or another in some 50 countries, with licence production or copying widespread. Description The base model of the BM-21 Grad (Hail) 9K51 series of 122 mm rockets is the 9M22, a FRAG-HE fin-stabilised rocket with a steel tube body, a high-explosive fragmentation warhead in the pointed nose section and an electrically ignited rocket motor in the tail. Stabilisation during flight is provided by four spring-out stabiliser vanes at the tail, mounted at an angle of 1º to the longitudinal. When fully open the fins have a span of 226 mm. On the base model 122 mm 9M22 the warhead is the M-21-OF containing 6.4 kg of TAG-F high explosive detonated by a 9A210 or MPB point detonating fuze, which is inertially armed only after travelling some 150 to 400 m from the launch point. Other types of warhead can be installed in place of the FRAG-HE including Chemical (VX or GB nerve agent - see under Equivalent projectiles, HE-Incendiary and Smoke. The rocket motor consists of 20.5 kg of RSI-12M double-base solid propellant, although single-base propellants have been used in the past. Total weight of the 9M22 at launch is 66 kg. Lengths vary. The basic 9M22 and essentially similar 9M22M are 2.87 m long. The 122 mm 9M22U/DB-1B is 3.226 m long and is heavier at 77.5 kg. All have a maximum range of around 20,750 m. With the basic 122 mm 9M22, two diameters of spoiler ring can be fitted over the nose to reduce range. The larger ring is fitted for ranges from 1,400 to 12,000 m and the smaller ring for 12,000 to 15,900 m. 122 mm rockets fired without the nose rings can reach 15,900 to 20,750 m. Maximum burnout velocity is 699 m/s without a nose ring. At maximum range the probable range error is 168 m in range and 80 m in azimuth. When detonated the M-21-OF warhead creates approximately 3,150 fragments which are scattered over a lethal radius of about 28 m. The 122 mm 9M28 rocket, also known as the M-14-OF or DKZ-B, can be used with 9P132 single-round launchers, is a derivative of the 122 mm 9M22 but is shorter at 1.905 m and weighs 45.8 kg. Maximum range is 10,800 m and maximum burnout velocity approximately 450 m/s. A variant of this rocket with an extra motor has a maximum range of 17,000 m. The 122 mm BM-21 rocket types produced in Russia include 9M28K cargo projectiles carrying three PGMDM anti-tank mines (weight complete 57.7 kg) or five POM-2S anti-personnel mines (3M16 - weight complete 56.4 kg). Both have a maximum range of 13,400 m. Each is 3.019 m long. Enhanced range versions with ranges up to 32,000 m are under development. Also available is a 9M43 Smoke rocket containing five smoke canisters, each weighing 800 g. Ten rockets can create a smoke screen 1,000 m long and 800 m deep. Each rocket weighs 66 kg and is 2.949 m long. Maximum range is 20,200 m. As a check list of current BM-21 rockets, the following summary outlines the main types: 9M22 HE-FRAG . Range 4,000 to 20,000 m 9M22U HE-FRAG . Range 4,000 to 20,100 m 9M28F HE-FRAG . Range 2,000 to 15,000 m 9M53F HE-FRAG . Range 5,000 to 20,000 m 9M43 Smoke . Range 5,000 to 20,000 m 9M42 Illumination . Range 1,000 to 5,000 m 9M28K Anti-tank mine . Range 4,000 to 13,400 m 3M16 Anti-personnel mine . Range 4,000 to 13,400 m 9M22M Cargo . Range 4,000 to 32,000 m Also in production by Splav and available for export sales are a series of enhanced range and performance 122 mm rockets powered by composite propellant motors. Known examples of these enhanced performance rockets include the following types. 9M519 Jammer . This designation covers a set of eight projectiles intended to jam HF and VHF radio communications operating in the 1.5 to 120 MHz bands. Each jammer warhead can, after impact, jam communications over a radius of 700 m for 60 minutes. A single warhead weighs 18.4 kg and the projectile 66 kg. Maximum range is 18,500 m. This rocket has been referred to as the 9M519-1-7 Lilya-2. 9M521 HE-FRAG . Range is 40,000 m carrying 21 kg of high explosive. Total weight of complete projectile is 66 kg. 9M522 HE-FRAG . On this rocket the warhead is separable from the motor and descends onto the target under a small parachute. This allows the warhead to fall almost vertically onto its target, providing scope for the use of proximity fuzes. The 25 kg warhead is claimed to be six times more effective than that of the standard 9M22U HE-FRAG. Total rocket weight is 70 kg and maximum range 37,500 m. 9M217 Self-targeting Submunition . This contains two unspecified self-targeting submunitions to be dispensed from the rocket warhead and descend under the control of a small parachute. As each submunition descends it seeks a target below and projects a self-forming fragment downwards into the target's top armour. The warhead weight is 25 kg and total rocket weight is 70 kg. Each submunition can penetrate 60 to 70 mm of homogeneous armour set at an angle of 30º. Maximum range is 30,000 m. The submunition involved may be the 122 mm Universal Smart Munition. 9M218 Cargo . Contains 45 dual-purpose submunitions containing a total of 25 kg of high explosive. Total rocket weight is 70 kg and maximum range is 30,000 m. One possible future submunition for 122 mm Grad series rockets is the 122 mm Universal Smart Munition. A 122 mm Grad series rocket could carry two of these anti-armour munitions which descend under a parachute and use a side-mounted target sensor to search for a target. If a target is sensed a self-forming fragment is fired from the optimum distance. The warhead can penetrate 60 to 70 mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armour (RHA). The 122 mm Universal Smart Munition is not yet in production. Although it is not confirmed, these munitions may be the ones involved with the 9M217. Fuchs Electronics of South Africa produce the BM21 and BM36 proximity fuzes optimised for 122 mm BM-21 rockets. The 122 mm rockets are normally transported packed in individual plywood chests but can be carried ready-loaded in their launch tubes for up to one year. Part of the BM-21 Grad system is a reload vehicle carrying reload rockets in 9F37 racks. The 122 mm 9M22U rocket is used for training purposes. Few details are available although it is understood that the warhead contains a flash/bang/smoke element only.
