Russian Soviet 82mm Mortar Round Tail Fragmented INERT

The Russian Soviet 82mm Mortar Round Tail Fragmented INERT is an authentic component from a standard 82mm mortar round used extensively by Soviet forces during the mid-20th century. This fragment comprises the tail section of the mortar projectile, which functioned to stabilize flight when the round was fired from infantry mortars such as the BM-37 or 82-BM-41. Manufactured primarily in the World War II and early Cold War periods, these tails were typically constructed from steel and designed with finned vanes for aerodynamic stability. The inert status of this item means it contains no explosive material, making it safe for display or educational purposes. It is a representative example of Soviet ordnance engineering and reflects the standardized, utilitarian equipment supplied to Red Army units. Such fragments are of historical interest for collectors, researchers, or institutions specializing in twentieth-century military artifacts, and can assist in understanding Soviet artillery tactics and materiel.
