Dear all,

Please do somebody know some information about 30x211 cartridges for Czech anti-aircraft canon mod 53 and mod 53/59 (Czech vz.53 and 53/59 PLDvK) with red bullets?

Hallo, my information says that they are drill cartridges manufactured from TP (JNhSv).
I just wonder why threre are two variants: red and red witr green band (green band on HE shell means self-destruction fuze).

I remember seeing a whole box (cca 120pcs) at the Military University used to train students how to load the PLDVK magazines. So the red could represent AP and red green HE.
This is however my personal WAG (hypothesis).
