Field researching and reporting on arms and the arms trade often leads to the same old discoveries in war after war, fight after fight. But most trips also turn up the odd and unusual item.
This pair of disc-shaped ordnance packages bearing Russian labels (above) was one of the unexpected finds in the possession of Ahfad al-Rasul.

Put it in a vise and hit it with a hammer ... if it goes ‘boom’ .. it’s an explosive.

As far as I can work out they are Additional propellant charges for 120mm artillery shells.
But that is only a 60% probability.

looks like some sort of propellant charge Note that it says 120mm on it, and as I recall the only things of that caliber that the russians use are mortars such as the 2S9 (SP), 2S12 (towed), 2S23 (SP), and the 2S31 (SP)
