Inert Soviet 57mm S-60 Anti-Aircraft Rounds on Original Clip

Add a rare piece of Cold War history to your collection with this set of four inert 57mm rounds, originally designed for the Soviet S-60 anti-aircraft gun. The S-60, introduced in 1950, was a cornerstone of Soviet and Warsaw Pact air defense systems, widely used in conflicts like the Vietnam War and various Middle Eastern wars. These rounds, marked with designations such as “UOR-281U” and “YOP-281Y,” are believed to be training or display variants, as indicated by their inert status and the cutaway example revealing an empty interior. The clip, a four-round loading mechanism, was specifically designed for the S-60 to enable rapid firing against low-flying aircraft, making this set a unique representation of mid-20th-century military technology.

Each round measures approximately 24-30 inches in length and weighs around 6-7 kg (13-15 lbs), with a mix of green, blue, and natural brass finishes showing authentic wear and patina from years of storage. The markings, including “57-S-60” and production codes like “11 42/A,” suggest origins dating back to the 1940s or 1950s, aligning with the S-60’s early production timeline. The clip itself is a sturdy metal piece, showing signs of age but remaining fully intact, perfect for display purposes.

This set is ideal for military historians, collectors of Soviet-era artifacts, or enthusiasts of anti-aircraft weaponry. It has been professionally deactivated, ensuring it is safe for display, but as with all military antiques, it should be handled with care and stored securely. Don’t miss the chance to own a tangible piece of Cold War air defense history!
