I am looking for some pictures (internal and external) of the Sh6 115-MM Russian Flechette round.
Does anyone have one, or have the Russian manual they can post?

This is quite handy as the 3Sh6 projectile and its 3USh2 round are the only two Russian flechette entries I've not written yet.
If the 3Sh6 is the same as the others, the flechettes are held in a coal wax matrix.
A VK-30 (ВК-30) mechanical time fuze this time and not the DTM-75 (ДТМ-75) as per the others. I presume due to higher setback forces and lower spin rate. Very similar design from the look of it though, far thicker area between the clockwork mechanism and the shutter (slider). Plus an additional flash-amplifying charge before the lower one that sits above the black powder magazine.
