Soviet APDS Projectile

[oktato]

Hi,

Can anyone help identify this APDS projectile which I bought in Hungary a few years ago?

It's 53cm long and the diameter of the dart is approximately 4cm.

I'd be grateful for any information on the country of origin, designation and/ or weapon that would have used it.

Thanks in anticipation.

Cheers,

Gary

This projectile is for the 100mm UBM2 ammunition of the smoothbore T-12 and MT-12 AT guns.

Perfect!

I'd always assumed it was a tank projectile.

Thanks a lot.

The 100 on the dart specifies its for a 100mm gun.

Has anyone ever seen spare sabots for these projectiles? I hope to get 2 100mm Russian APFSDS-T rounds, and one is missing sabots. I assume these are not very common?
