30 mm Czech APFSDS experimental rounds

[Sorcerer]

I would like to show more of the Czechoslovak APFSDS development program from the second half of the 1980s. The project was codenamed "Needle". Tests were done in 30x165 and 30x210 casings.
Just for completeness, the last two 30x165 APFSDS are later Slovak developments.

All of course FFE

Another beautiful piece !
There are a few more variants, I know of 4 more myself, but this is certainly not a complete list.
