This video demonstrates the destructive power of a 150-ton hydraulic press on Soviet and US 30mm ammunition. Both training and inert rounds were subjected to extreme pressure, revealing how the casings and projectiles deform and flatten under force. The comparison highlights the physical resilience and material failure characteristics of Cold War-era ammunition from opposing superpowers.

Quick Summary

A 150-ton hydraulic press was used to crush both Soviet and US 30mm ammunition. The Soviet training round and the US inert round were subjected to extreme pressure, revealing how their casings and projectiles deform and flatten under force.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happened to the Soviet 30mm training round under the hydraulic press?

The Soviet 30mm training round was placed under a 150-ton hydraulic press. The press slowly crushed the projectile and casing, causing the metal to peel and fold until it was completely flattened.

How did the US 30mm round react to the hydraulic press?

A US 30mm round was subjected to the same 150-ton hydraulic press. It initially resisted before the casing and projectile were crushed into a mangled heap of metal.

What was the purpose of the hydraulic press test on the 30mm ammunition?

The test aimed to demonstrate and compare the physical resilience and material failure characteristics of Soviet and US 30mm ammunition when subjected to extreme pressure.

What markings were visible on the Soviet 30mm round?

The Soviet 30mm round had Cyrillic markings that indicated it was a training or practice round, specifically 'ЗПУ 20 УЧЕБНО ТРЕНИР'.
