This is a very scarce original Soviet Cold War \u003cb\u003eKZU-2 (КЗУ-2)\u003c\/b\u003e inert linear shaped demolition charge designed for use against metal, reinforced-concrete, and other structural targets. The KZU-2 could be rapidly positioned on steel targets using removable magnets, while integral rings allowed the charge to be secured with tape or similar material when used against non-magnetic surfaces. This example has been rendered completely inert and is intended solely as a historical display and study piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the sides are two strips with grooves for fastening magnets and two rings for tying the charge with tape on a non-steel target. The HE Shaped-Charge (SC) has a semi-cylindrical cumulative cavity with a steel lining. Magnets provide fast charge mounting on the target, with each magnet placed in a spring-loaded clip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example retains great stenciled markings on the side, \u003cb\u003eKZU-2 INERT\u003c\/b\u003e, and on the top, \u003cb\u003eK3Y-2 (3)-20-76\u003c\/b\u003e.

The mine measures \u003cb\u003e6 x 4 x 3¼”\u003c\/b\u003e. The spring clip on the top holds in the detonator tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KZU-2 is a particularly interesting example of specialized Soviet Cold War combat-engineer equipment. Its compact linear shaped-charge construction, provision for magnetic attachment, surviving spring clip, and clearly visible 1986-era markings distinguish it from more conventional demolition blocks and land mines. In its present inert configuration, this example provides a useful study piece illustrating the specialized demolition equipment developed for Soviet engineer and sabotage applications during the later Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45949059956805,"sku":"ONJR26SERB009","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/B9BB5759-1C38-47F7-9F7B-5CA5F47F1D00.jpg?v=1791398870","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-soviet-russian-cold-war-inert-rare-kzu-2-magnetic-linear-shaped-demolition-charge-dated-1986","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
