Air dropped flare mine? Or what?

Good day to all!

I hope, somebody can help to me identify this interesting Russian cutaway model!
What is this? Radi jammer? Flare projectile? Electric mole repeller?? :)
I have an idea, but maybe this is nonsense. Possible this is an air-dropped flare "mine" (maybe target marker), what is activated after with nose slammed to the ground?
The black cylinder on the 7. and 8. pics is a battery.
About 505mm long and 86mm wide.

APFSDS,

what you have is the innerpart of a Bulgarian radio jammer projectile. Type "Samel 90" in Google and you will see
a complete PDF file on it.


Regards,


Chris
 
Excellent picture Michael! :)
I sold two pieces of this cutaway. Maybe one for you? I don't remember.
 
Thanks John! Yes, you are right. You sold one to me.
Now I realize how backlit my picture is. Maybe I should redo it, but now all the snow's gone! :tinysmile_cry_t:
