Ammunition for Russian T-12/MT-12 100mm Antitank Gun

It looks like the Russians included the MT-12 in their invasion of Ukraine.

Here is an image of a Ukrainian MT-12. It is hard to hide that gun barrel.

The red triangle is more a Czech marking for inert models - Nabob is asked here to confirm
Erik

Hi, sorry for the late reply...
Red triangle is ofter seen marking on Czech(oslovak) ammo, but in this case I do not think it is a Czech military marking.
Czechoslovakia did not use the T-12 gun. It was, however used ba the Soviet forces "stationed" in Czechoslovakia from 1968 to 1991.
Hungary did use this weapon, my manual does not show training rounds.
The wooden mockup looks a bit pointy and unbeaten.
