Here is an old shell found in Artsakh near Vakunis village. Would any of you know what kind it is?

You are right but Australia really wants the F-22

Same for Sukhoi

You would know more on the topic, but I believe there's a strong no export policy on the F-22 and has been in place even before designs were finalized

Nobody, not even England or Israel gets the raptor.
If the web site "air power Austraila " is getting its facts straight, Austraila is being bamboozled (huge politicle pressure by USA ) to go with the F35 program. Nobody is pleased with the ludicrous cost or lack of performance and troubles encountered so far. Same with F22 insofar as consistent troubles and stupid cost.
The raptor was never finished because of stupid costs and that's why the troubles continue. Same with F35.
My point is that USA just like Russia has put tremendous pressure on Austraila and others to buy USA.
The web site I refer to has shown the least "nationalistic" nonsense in its evaluation of military aircraft and components.
I have a special but limited first hand look at F35 in action. My conclusion is its the best (very best) harrier jet built to date. You should see these planes pop off the ground vertically with the utmost control and speed and then power into their trajectory. Quite impressive. Their limited but significant stealth and electronics/avionics is what USA is putting its hopes on, because the F35 can't outfly an SU27.

I think it's artillery shell for D-30. The "122" probably designates it's 122 mm.

Thanks, it indeed looks similar to a D-30 FRAG-HE shell.

This is a practical shell. There are no explosives

Armenia should look to getting a couple of Pantsir S1 to make the air defense in Artsakh even thicker, without skilled pilots and propery strategy, those planes would be shot down very soon in the conflict due to the high intensity nature of it.
