Hi, does anyone have info to this 76 mm Russian projectile?

Not sure, could be this Drill-Dummy round (represant AA 76mm OF-62)

Hi, does anyone have info to this 76 mm Russian projectile?

Probably an A3-UCh-62 (А3-УЧ-62) drill round, which has an inert empty projectile and an inert fuze. The projectile rigidly attached to the casing via a rod that runs from the primer area to the base of the projectile.

It's either that or an inerted A3-UPS-62 (А3-УПС-62) series practice round.

My money on the UPS62 (the green band at the bottom of the nose cone and the ring just below)

Hi sgdbr , a small addition.
Fuze ,,Fоловной взрыватель ВГ–67,, (Nose fuze VG-67) ,School -green band ) -in the picture Cartridge : А3-УЧ-62 , (source Wiiliam 49)
https://repository.library.voenmeh.ru/jspui/bitstream/123456789/99288/1/elr00782.pdf , page 45


or ,,fuze,, ВБ- 67 balistic plug --> Cartridge : А3-УХ-62 (picture source MINENAZ16 ; not original packaging)

Hello all together,
if I understand aright the pictures are showing an inert empty projectile with an inert fuze VB-67 (взрыватель ВБ- 67) and has a green band. I have attached 2 photos from the VB-67. The fuze VG-67 is a PD fuze with a SD element for the 76 mm OF-62.
Thank you again for your interesting threads.

Hi William 49
I will write it differently.
1. ,,Головной взыратель ВГ–67 (VG-67),, its school version fuze has 1 green belt.
2. The only ballistic dummy plug is marked ВБ- 67 (VB-67)
it is in your last 2 pictures.

Therefore the VB-67 does not have a green belt (there is no reason for this ...)

I have found this poster in old NVA documents to the 76 mm practice projectile PS-62. There the fuze VB-67 has a green band.

It would be interesting to know what 'A-050' series, 'DV' series, or other East German (NVA) document the diagrams were from? That or uploaded to the document to the forum's downloads section.
