I thought some of these would show up in the Russian Parade books, but apparently too early - any help is appreciated.

The first three are of a nominally 82 mm calibre inert training rocket for the PK-16 (ПК-16) system. I can't say which exact model it emulates as they all look pretty much the same.

The latter two images are of a nominally 253 mm calibre RGB-12 (РГБ-12) series anti-submarine rocket depth charge, which was developed for the RGB-1200 (РГБ-1200) Uragan (Ураган) launcher system. The munition's Russian Navy index code 11F-V (11Ф-В). Fuzing for the series is reportedly ether K-3 (К-3) series contact (impact), or the KVD (КВД) depth (10-330 m) and contact.
 
When I was in Vietnam, we came across the RBS 12, never did get ID'd, so it went to the MAVC Intell guys. There were two of them set up on a metal launcher. The infantry had found them and took care of the troops using it, then called EOD. Now 55 years later I am finding more ion formation on it,

Thanks for the PDF. It would be interesting to see any details on the KDV.

Akon, there is a problem with the link !
Works for me... remarkably seeing all the script and other blockers I have running!
 
Oups, in fact, the file was downloaded (lots of it as I clicked several times on the link), but I kept waiting for something to appear in the browser. Sorry !
