Czech RM 70 122mm Artillery Rocket

A large batch of these were recently imported into the US - inert training models. I just bought some and brought them to Texas - in case anyone is interested in obtaining one. They are long - 9 ft or 3 m - and heavy - 200 lbs or 100kg.

Since the weapons are no longer used by the Czech Army (still waiting for replacement), the training aids were sold off tho private sector.
If You can't sell them they make a great construction material :) https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-47137978
These have the original MRV fuzes that were later disassembeled, marked with red triangle and used for inert rockets.

They do sell well. People like to use them for display outside their homes or businesses - one is going to an Army Surplus store. They are unique in the US. They are very much like 16 inch battleship shells or torpedoes for display.
