In support of my previous statement, I will mention that the Tarasnica T-21 has an electric firing pin, so cartridges with a mechanical firing pin are not well suited for it.
Moreover, the 7.62-Zm43 cartridge was, I believe, introduced after the introduction of the RPG-7.

T-21 in the Polish Army


At the beginning of 1952, the Polish army seriously lacked heavy armor, as the development of its own type dragged on disproportionately and its completion was in sight. The Czechoslovak T-21 terrace was chosen as an option to obtain such a weapon. In the summer of 1952, an agreement was signed for the supply of ten pieces of T-21 tarasnice and 1,000 pieces of the relevant ammunition with delivery by the end of the year. These pieces were used to test the terraces by the Polish army and were delivered on December 30, 1952. However, the Polish side did not want to accept the price demanded by Czechoslovakia,
and so it was again auctioned as in the case of the armored vehicle P-27. Poland also considered the licensed production of ammunition, from which it eventually withdrew.


After the tests, the Polish army highly valued this tarasnice as a modern and high-quality weapon. On July 8, 1953, a contract was signed in Prague for the supply of 800 pieces of T-21 tarasnice and 35,000 rounds, for which the Polish side paid with supplies of chemical industry products such as tritol, hexogen and others. The possibility of licensed production was also enshrined in the contract. After ten days, however, the Polish leadership at the economic meeting realized that it was unable to repay this contract, and so the number of T-21s was reduced to 400 pieces and the number of ammunition concerned to 10,000 pieces. The Polish army was constantly considering how to supplement the infantry armament with a means of destroying tanks. Domestic development ended in total debacle, there was no funding for the licensed production of the T-21, and the army refused to introduce the Soviet SG-82 weapon due to its obsolescence.


At the beginning of 1955, the Poles discovered that the best solution would be to take the T-21 taras panels ordered in 1953. They had been in a Czechoslovak warehouse since 1954 because they had not been paid for. Thus, in June 1955, after a two-year delay, the Polish side took all 400 pieces of T-21 and 10,000 pieces of ammunition. The Poles estimated that they would need 1,680 T-21 tariffs and almost 800,000 pieces of ammunition to arm their army. However, on November 9, 1955, at a meeting of the General Staff, it was decided that the main weapon of infantry to fight tanks will be a new recoilless cannon B-10.


At the beginning of the 1960s, all Czechoslovak T-21 tariffs were sold abroad. Thus, only one piece of incomplete terrace for museum purposes remained in Poland. Photographs showing this weapon in the Polish army are also unique.

Diskuse

For this T-21 (it was, among other things, armed with PS companies) was used insert barrel caliber 7.65 mm, the charge is very similar to the normal 7.65 Br., Has a projectile with a green tip. (I have had it in my collection for a long time as "shining 7.65 Br.: Oops:).
It was a very accurate weapon with optical sights.
And the performance of the sharp charge in the target (they showed us in training - on the "New Defense" in Volary - on a piece of tank armor) really respectable!

In sharp shootings it had a pretty fundamental error (from my own experience - at the rba were T-21 mounted on the OT-65 with a turret) - always when odstřílela one "round" on the three runways, it was going to extinguish - to weapons, it's not "inert" ammunition, and so still in the target area was on fire... and god forbid, the shooter was good and hit the bull's-eye his carrier "klandr" and or even the undercarriage of the target on the rail track - either he had to change the target or change the cart running gear - and using the firing range yelled and yelled...
"Bazookas" střilely as a rule, as the last (after the company on the BVP-1), and sometimes it so happened that just fired only once...
Otherwise I agree, a very accurate weapon and ammo as a "decoration" to the office was truly spectacular..

Citace - Fantan :

For this T-21 (it was used, among others, by the PS companies) was used insert barrel in 7.65 mm caliber, the cartridge is very similar to the normal 7.65 Br., it has a bullet with a green tip. (I had it in my collection for a long time as a "glowing 7.65 Br. Embarassed ).



Something like the Nb 7.62-zm-75?

So I checked tlf.: consent, it's about the same charge, a casing 0.32", shot from the reduced to the Nb.43, marked with white and green (for my shots could be the white tip already wiped away). Commonly used in the military as earlier the T-21, so now the RPG-75..

Correcting and clarifying:
Nb 7,62-zm-75 - as described, is appropriate for the RPG 75 Cv. The bullet was filled with glowing composition to such an extent that it was still ignited in the barrel (cleaning problem!) and marked the trajectory very distinctly in red. If the bullet was slightly more tightly seated in the cartridge case (otherwise the bullet did not fit into the magazine), it was possible to fire the bullet from a ČZ vz.50 pistol - again with cleaning problems.


For the T-21, the vz.43 cartridge was appropriate, mostly with a glowing projectile - this also agrees with my "military" experience and with the fire range - it was fired at 300 m, which probably would not have been possible with the small Nb 7.62-zm-75.
That's why I didn't know this Nb 7,62-zm-75 at all! Logically, in 1964 the weapon in question was not yet in the arsenal, we had RPG 7.


So! That's why it was strange to me that although our Tarasniks fired practice shots quite often, I never saw this Nb 7,62-zm-75!
My apologies for the racing data after the fact.

So I got and I am presenting both of these special bullets - how to T-21, as well as for pancéřovku.
At the same time I learned that, for the special charge for pancéřovku was even extra training pancéřovka, not only vložná the barrel into sharp weapons, like bazookas, that I knew.
I understand, too, that very strongly shining markup drop-shots are lit already in the barrel with a rather devastating effect on its internal surface (I'd have written "bore", but I don't know if it's the rpgs on the grooved barrel).
If I recall, our tarasníci shot from fee mainly conventional illuminating the hub vz. 43, this charge I first (not surprisingly, I'm a civilian for 41 years)..

The round on the left is for the RPG-75 (Kobilka), the round on the right is for the RPG-7.


The practice cartridge for the T-21 looked (to my knowledge) quite different: It was a thick-walled, bottle-shaped steel cartridge with a screwed bottom that held the primer. The bullet of this cartridge was all-metal, cylindrical in shape, about one centimeter in diameter (rather more) and 6-7cm long. It was stabilized aerodynamically, with wings formed by milling off the rear of the bullet. The front of the bullet had a chamfered edge, and there was a groove on the body of the bullet for a steel wire ring fuse which secured the bullet in the muzzle.
There are stamped markings and numbers on the body of the cartridge, it was reusable. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture or drawing of the hub.


For the "7.62mm sighting cartridge vz.43 (7.62-Zm43)" practice rounds for the RPG-7, a dummy round with an insert barrel is used - you can tell by the (usually) red color and the hole in the front, for the RPG-75 it's a complete new gun.

So far, I mean all of the fee mainly for the RPG-7, what I saw were yellow.

Shouldn't someone a picture of the practice rounds for the T-21?.

I think buko was writing about the shot, not the barrel.

....For training cartridges "7,62mm sighting cartridge vz.43 (7,62-Zm43) "for RPG-7 is used dummy round with insert barrel - it is recognized by (usually) red color and hole in the front, for RPG-75 it is completely new weapon....


I think it's about the dummy round and its color.

if it is related to the bullet, it should be behind it, not after the barrel (it is developing the barrel) but how the author meant it is a question Smile

It was written by the Alchemist, not me.

I think in this case it is a model of a projectile painted red. However, that mockup contains an insert header (opening in front). It is used in the standard RPG-7 armor instead of a sharp round, but only the aiming round will be fired during the shot.

Because the RPG-75 is essentially a disposable weapon, it cannot be used for training. Said method and therefore separate training RPG-75s are manufactured adapted only to the firing of said aiming charge.

If I am wrong, I believe that the Alchemist will correct or supplement me.
