It`s definitely for chemical munition. the same tubes were in Soviet complects for searching toxic agent in airs.
 
These are indicator ampoules for chemical detection equipment.
These do not contain any of the chemicals listed on the packing (they are just reacting to these and indicate the presence)! That is often mistaken and reported as chemical munitions.
The markings are also Albanian what fits the location they were found.

When I was talking "chemical munition" I mean it use in forces by protecting of chemical, bio- and radioactive arms. And exactly this tube uses for searching toxic agent in air, whan means - chemical forces.
