Default T-72 balkans ammo question

I have a question aabout the ammo in T72 Balkans. I am familiar with the uses of each type of shell (or missile), but i just can't get my head around the acronyms used in the game. What do they all mean?

Or if you like the russian names for each type from gunner station:
Left (9 o`clock) to Right (6 o `clock)

BPS - Sabot round -Kinetic energy round for tanks

OFS - High explosive fragmentation round for use against all kind of soft and medium armoured targets(APC,guns,infantry,buildings..)

BKS - Shaped charge (HEAT) round for tanks,APCs,Buildings...

UR - laser guided rockets for engaging choppers or tanks at long distance

P - Coaxial MG for soft targets

each type of ammo is represented in mission review with diferent colour:

RED - SAbot
YELLOW - HEAT
BLUE - Fragments from explosion
GREEN - bullets

the killing impact is always brighter then others so you might see pink,white etc..

P.S. im writing this from my head..so im not 100% on colours BUT ammo types are correct,im shure on that!
