The 3UOF17 is a 100 mm high-explosive fragmentation round for the 2A70 low-pressure gun-launcher used by BMP-3-family vehicles. Specialist ammunition references identify it as a nose-fuzed, spin-stabilized unitary round and list it alongside the BMP-3, BMD-4, and BTR-90M ammunition sets, making it the principal unguided 100 mm explosive round associated with those gun-launcher installations.

Variants

The 3UOF17 sits in the 2A70 gun-launcher's unguided HE-Frag ammunition family. Separate later HE-Frag designations appear in the same 2A70 ammunition tables, but this record is limited to the 3UOF17 round and its 3OF32 projectile designation.

Round And Compatibility Notes

The 3UOF17 entry is best read as a munition component for the 2A70 gun-launcher rather than as a standalone conflict page. Available references identify the round, its 3OF32 projectile designation, and the vehicle families that fire it, but they do not by themselves prove a specific conflict-use event for this exact round.
