POZ M67 105mm yugo shell cases

Shell cases for armor piercing tracer projectile

Are these lying in a scrap yard somewhere?

 

[al'saad]

those cases are not for AP-T but for HESH-T rounds. there was no 105mm AP rounds for howitzers in yugoslav army.
cyrilic POZ means 'protivoklopno zrno' which is round based on hompkinson efect or high explosive squash head round. usual designation for AP round is 'pancirno'.

Thanks,

John

yup, you put drawing of HESH (protiv-oklopno) round, not AP (pancirno), from book Ammunition part 2. now, turn page 332 and see if there is AP (pancirno) round for 105mm hows on the list.

Hi al'saad, Are you working with Civil Protection out of Sarajevo (with Suad B####k?), if so I am a friend from ArmorGroup days...
The 105mm M67 round is an unusual one with the ballistic cap on it, if you have the dimensions and weights of these that would be great if you can compare with this: Is the length of the body from the tip of the cap to the base of the round (discluding the Fuze) Approx: 485 - 490mm and weightwise can you confirm 7.10 kg Gross with an NEW of 2.20 kg of HEX? Many Thanks in advance...
