125 mm HE-T PRACTICE
This is a separate-loading ammunition with a stabilizer and two tracer charges. The projectile is loaded with TNT and has a nose-mounted fuze (AZ - 90U) and a bottom-mounted fuze (DZ-75AU). Both fuzes have a self-destruct function. Self-destruction occurs in the range of 3.8 to 5 seconds, therefore, the maximum range of shrapnels does not exceed 5,000 meters. The cartridge is of the semi-combustible type and is composed of a steel casing stub, a combustible case and a propellant charge. Initiation occurs from a mechanical or electrical igniter. The ammunition is designed for practice firing from tanks equipped with a 125 mm cannon.
