K 9 PD Fuze
- Thread starter jvollenberg
- Start date
the fuze on this shell seems to be MG-201
Yes, you're right, my mistake
Do you have an image where it shows the K-9 stamping?
How does it differ from K-6?

I can't find anything on the 'K-9' fuze for the ShVAK (ШВАК) 20 mm aircraft cannon in Russian reference documents I have locally. I also can't really find anything online either, but that may just be down to me.
The fuze looks almost the same as the K-6 (not K-6M) model, but simpler, though that may just be the diagram and not reality. A diagram of the K-6 from Russian source material is below.
I'd be interested to see Soviet/Russian/Warsaw Pact/etc. source material on the K-9 if you have any.

Perhaps it would help to cite the source of the image you put here.
I will do it with your permission.
Among other things, there is a drawing for the K-6, K-6M fuse and beyond A-20 (in another document
it is diferent designated fuse MG-201. (MG-201 : as mentioned by MINENAZ16)
So there are 3 types ... each one is different.
Everyone will deduce what will be closest to the German drawing and convince himself that he is right.

PS: I still don't know why I remember K-9. When I find it (and if) I'll put it here...

From the 1953 Russian/Soviet-era publication (Боеприпасы к Авиационным Пулеметам и Пушкам) you pasted in.
And yes, I'd be interested in details on the K-9.

I'm also wondering where I remember it from...
Does anyone have a picture of the MG-2 fuze? There is a nice cutaway image in the manual, but I need an external view of it if possible.
