Old soviet ammo depots have piles of ww2 era weapons in them... finding german detonators is probably not rare. Would be way more interesting to know for what artillery or mortar caliber these detonator are for. Someone have a clue ?
KAMAZ Military trucks have started arriving with factory installed EW Systems.
These are highly fragmentation resistant. They could resist even the tungsten fragmentation bearings that's used on the HIMARS cluster munitions. Remember early in the Kursk campaign, there was a HIMARS strike on a Russian supply convoy. After that, there were sightings of KAMAZ trucks running around with lots of small ball shaped dents in their cabins.
A fragmentation resistant KAMAZ truck chassis is used on the 2S43 Malva and 2S44 Hyacinth-K SPGs. In one incident, a HIMARS exploded around the vicinity of a Malva SPG. For whatever damage the Malva took, the ammunition failed to cook and there was no secondary explosion.
