Brazilian 90mm rounds factory

It is interesting to note the 90mm fin stabilized HE rounds were equipped with Russian V-429 fuzes - the same one used on 115mm and 125mm fin stabilized HE for Russian tanks.

Ah, I forgot to mention, the V-429 (В-429) fuze is for use with spin-stabilised projectiles, which for the Soviet/Russia Army is 85-203 mm calibre. The Soviet/Russia Navy may also use the fuze over a wider range of calibres.

The V-429E (В-429Е) and V-429V (В-429В) are normally for no-spin or slowly-spinning projectiles fired by (for Russia) 100-125 mm tank and anti-tank guns. The Soviet/Russia Navy may also use the V-429E fuze.

You may get away with using the V-429 fuze with these projectiles as the issue (premature fuze functioning) is down to the deployment of the projectile's fins. The projectiles seen in the video, as part of the 90 mm AE-Tr (aka 90 mm HE-T) round, have fixed fins.

I forgot to add the video frame grab :oops:
