The 90mm Experimental HV is nice. Never seen a real projectile with a case.
 
That 90MM HV is really amazing. I have a similar but different "experimental" 90MM APFSDS projectile that was designed for the same 90MM long necked case.

Some pics of my 90MM APFSDS designed for the same case. Possibly the experimental predecessor to US-SUBS example?








In its case ( I only own the inert projectile) On the hunt for this case:)

I find it interesting that the 90mm Canister is marked Frag, but is filled with flechettes. It looks taller than the issued version of the same.
 
US-Subs - Many thanks for the excellent series of pictures. They provide something new every day! Much appreciated.

Do you know the designation of the US? Mechanical Timer in your last post?

Many thanks

Cheers

I'm afraid not. Doesn't show up in any of the photos and it is not in the notes. Not one I've seen before.
 
Not to worry - Another one to watch for! Thanks again for a super thread.

Cheers
