Although it sounds like addon making question, i've posted it here since i guess chances are higher to get a answer on this.

@Topic

I would like to know something about color designation scheme of russian AA and AG weapons.

From NATO i know that yellow designates a live warhead (high explosive), brown is for propulsion load (explosive) and blue for inert training rounds without any explosive content.

Sadly i couldn't find any info about russian-made weaponry. So i would be happy if someone could give me some info about. Mainly for live firing weapons since i do not plan to make inert weapons.

Thanks in advance

Soviet era bombs and missiles had the filler types stencilled on. I dont think there was an equivalent colour banding system at any time but i could be wrong.

Yo can get some info from this:

Im not so sure about modern equipment. Last time i went to MAKs there were some display weapons with painted markings but i can't read cyrillic so i've no idea what they were or what the markings meant.

Thanks Rock.

Well, that fits with the fact that almost all russion missiles and bombs i could find pics of, usually didn't had color markings that i could myself identify as lethality indicator. But all had some text which fits with the explanation on your linked site.

Thanks mate, brings me another big step ahead.
