Does anybody have more info on this? It's a Hecht heat charge
Soviets tested some after the war but that's all is known
P. S the charge itself is German, but tested by the Soviets after capturing

It's not Soviet weapon. It's a Soviet-made description of German experimental "Hecht" (en. pike fish) 250-mm spigot grenade for 105-mm RPzB.54 grenade launcher. Sone examples were captured by Red Army in 1945 and tested.

It was designed by Westfalisch - Anhaltische Sprengstoff A.G on basic of RPzB.54 (Sonderversion) 105-mm rocket grenade launcher. The original design was unsatisfactory - too limited in range and penetration for great size - so they tried to use it to fire spigot-type 250-mm grenade. Not very sucessfully also.

Is there more German related ordnance in that soviet publication?
