Very nice! How and where were these shells used? Mainly anti-aircraft guns, or where they used in aircraft as well?

Quite interestingly I have learnt. The IL-2 Shturmovik used a cannon know as the Volkov-Yartsev VYa-23 which fired BRASS 23X152mm casings.
Post war the Soviets/Warsaw Pact mainly used the 23X152mm cartridge in the ZU-23 series of Anti aircraft guns. They fired STEEL casings. Like above sorta.
These Brass and steel rounds are not interchangeable. The IL-2 cannot fire Steel rounds and the ZU-23 can’t fire Brass rounds.
So there still is some variations in material like my 20X138B rounds!
