Usage notes
From personal experience.
The fuze was declared a Ukrainian product, with an order to describe its operation with specific projectiles and propellant charges.
Conclusion: A high-quality, effective product.
Example of fuze operation:
The spotter drone was at a long distance from the target, and according to observation the projectile missed the target by 40–50 meters. Five minutes later we received an intercept of the occupier's radio traffic: one - 200, two - 300.
The effectiveness of the air burst has been proven in practice...
