I’m not 100% sure as to the origin of the new shells, I at least don’t think they’re the same as the chinese ones. My guess is that they are likely either of domestic origin or just bought from the USSR. Since the soviets did make a HE-VT shell for the 57mm gun, they just never used it on the ZSU-57-2 but rather on the towed AA guns.

Added the T-54 with the caged armour and the Modernized ZSU-57-2 onto the list now
Now here’s a Terrangbil m/42 in Latvian service
I’m posting this since A: all 3 of the Baltic nations operated them (10 for each 3 Baltic nations) and B and the most important part is that the Baltic Terrangbil m/42’s had the 8mm removed and replaced with DShK-M’s. If anybody has images of Baltic m/42’s mounted with DShK’s please post them

Always wondered what that was, could never find a modern photo of it though, would love to see.

This is a picture of a truck convoy transporting coastal guns from Saimaa to lake Laatokka in August 1941. Below is a picture from the same event. These are in no way or shape combat vehicles, they’re literally just guns loaded onto flatbeds. They’re not ingegrated into the vehicles, they wouldn’t be able to fire, and it unlikely that they even carried ammunition in the same loads. Cool photo but nothing for WT I’m afraid

I genuinely thought they didnt even get to putting a radar on but there u go… any specs for the sights/radar as im guessing the proxy is like the WZ
Proxy should be the same as the WZ since iirc they were the same rounds bought for testing.
I could be wrong but i remember it being mentioned that they were the same ammo.
