Just landed (with a big thud). 122mm (122x785R) BR-471 APHE for the A-19/D-25 tank gun mounted in the IS2 (Joseph Stalin2). Cumbersome, separate loading ammunition resulted in 1.5 to 2 rounds per minute r.o.f, not helped by the crew number being dropped to four in the IS2 due to lack of space. The APHE projectile weighed 25kg alone.:tinysmile_eyebrow_t
