ICM 1/35 DShKM Heavy Machine Gun with Support/Tripod

Description
In 1946, the Soviet Army adopted the DShKM heavy machine gun—a modernized version of the previous DShK model. This powerful weapon had broad applications, serving both infantry units and as a mounted weapon on various equipment types. With a muzzle energy of 19.2 kJ and high rate of fire, combined with exceptional reliability, it stands as one of the finest weapons in its class. The DShKM proves highly effective against lightly armoured vehicles: its B-32 armour-piercing incendiary ammunition can penetrate 20mm-thick armour at distances up to 500m.

The weapon accommodates multiple ammunition types including armour-piercing, incendiary, armour-piercing incendiary, tandem, and explosive rounds. Originally designed for anti-aircraft defense, the DShKM saw extensive use throughout the 20th century and remains in service with various armed forces today. In the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it serves as a heavy infantry weapon, mounted either on special mounts or various pedestals. Additionally, fire groups employ the DShKM in counter-drone operations.
