INERT. This is a Russian 23x152B 23mm VYa, ZSU anti-aircraft steel and hard rubber drill round for use in their 23mm twin barrelled anti-aircraft gun that was developed in the late 1950s to engage low flying aircraft. The gun was also developed into a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun which was called the ZSU-23-4 Shilka and had mounted two of the twin barrelled cannons which were radar controlled and was used to great effect in the Russian Afghanistan war due to the gun being able to fire at high angles in the mountainous areas of the country. The weapon has been adopted by most old Soviet countries as well as India. The gun is still in service. This drill round consists of an anodised steel belted rimless base with a hard durable black plastic upper case and projectile. The cartridge base has a blind primer pocket. The price includes UK delivery and no licence is required to retain this inert round in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. There are 2 rounds available. O 1864
