I got pictures from the NVA cutting charges 2 kg and 0.6 kg. They are copies from the Czech cutting charges UTN-2 and UTN-600. The have the same measurements. The cutting charges have following measurements:
SL-2 SL-06
length 200 mm 100 mm
width 110 mm 80 mm
height 120 mm 95 mm

explosive weight 1.9 kg 540 g.

The explosive charge is TNT/RDX. The white stripe on the charges indicates a practice charge.

Hi William49
when I look at the picture, the UTN-2, UTN-600 (Usměrněná Táhlá Nálož) of the German manufacturer differs from the Czech version.(has two production versions)
With the Czech load there are two loops on each side (total of 4 pcs) the load is used to connect several loads into a whole.
And I have the impression that the tin body is also made differently because the Czech ones are not longitudinal on the side of the charge.

Hi Akon,
I have pictures for Czech cutting charges. It would be better when I wrote the NVA Charges are similar to the Czech.
