Yes, ineed, also to avoid deflection. AFAIK in the past, there were problems with tank gun fired HEAT warheads fuzes and the problem with deflection, so ammunition was less effective.

It would be problematic. To not disturb the jet.

Incorrect designation, it is only T-72B, T-72B1/B2/B3 or T-72BA. There was never such designation as T-72BV.

Janes is not 100% reliable, because this is a nature of this type of media. Most authors there do not perform their own research but are preaty much ok with official statements, such official statements are not nececary truth, especially when it comes to ammunition penetration capabilities.

Other thing are completely new types of metal alloys, for example amorphic alloys. If we can create amorphic alloy of steel, why not amorphic alloy of WHA or DU? Such alloys can give some new possibilities, combined with other materials or amorphic alloys of other metals, both in kinetic energy...

Above article is nothing more than a private person opinion. The fact however is that most of NATO, besides British, sees rifled guns as obsolete and do not want to further use them. Americans after inducting and redesigning German Rh-120 in to M256, never designed any new rifled gun in 120mm...

Who said that Americans will not have a HEAT ammunition? Stockpiles of M830 and M830A1 are huge, for decades new AMP will not completely replace them, even if it is designed to replace four types of ammunition. And there is very important reason why AMP is intended to replace these four types...

Hard to tell because of variable thickness of cast turret. Still it is not immposible to penetrate more than 100mm of cast armor, we should remember that old AP rounds were mostly a HE round with more capable to penetrate armor shell. It is not immposible to equip such ammunition like AMP with...

Such words do not show great degree of professionalism or knowledge. Even old 3BM15 can be dangerous to modern armor. And again, you talk about things you do not have knowledge about. AMP do not use HEAT or shaped charge warhead, it use programmable fuze, so it can be set to delay and can...

As far as I understand it is about Svinets (Svinets-1?) and Svinets-2 as pararell designs and the differences between them.

If M829A2 was not capable to perforate front turret armor of Challenger 2 (which in theory should be the weakest in all modern NATO tanks due to use cast components and having less composite insert due to cavity dimensions), then M829A1 will not be capable to defeat NATO tanks of late 1980's...

As far as I can see, you are patethic. Desperately trying to lie further, even when any of your argument is easy defeated. And it is even more funny to watch how angry you are, by the way how your writing skills degradate. :D As for countries not using DM53, it very well obvious why many...

A simple calculation about guns barrels lenght. 125 x 52 = 6,500 125 x 50 = 6,250 125 x 48 = 6,000 120 x 55 = 6,600 120 x 52 = 6,240 120 x 50 = 6,000 120 x 48 = 5,760 120 x 44 = 5,280 Rh-120/L55 is still longer than any 125mm gun of the 2A46 family and their clones with all possible gun...

And you again shows that you do not understand any language besides Russian. Militarysta talks about Svinets-1/2. As for BTVT, it is obvious that data there for western weapon systems is biased and unfavorable for them, but it is good source of informations about soviet weapon systems. M-392...

@militarysta, we should also consider all possible differences in metallurgy. You can have two very similiar penetrators, but both will be different when it comes to metallurgy level and also production quality, and of course quality control. It is very easy to have super ammunition on paper...

Ok I put it straight, as you have allways problems with using your brain. Newer does not means better, understanable? Well for human being it should be. Only because something was designed in XXI century it does not means it will be better, there are many factors, for example financial, Russia...

You are mistaken, as allways when it comes to military threads. M332 was designed and inducted in to service in the 1989-1990 when Merkava Mk3 was designed and inducted. This means it is still relatively modern and effective type of ammunition, comparable to M829A1 also designed and inducted in...

So all Soviet project that were not realized are also fantasy. Russian Object 195 is also fantasy by your own definition. Soviet Union, and accept this fact, was artificial country, that was created by psychopats, sociopats, murderers, criminals, simple thugs. Your home country and it's...

And this will be answer to the (pseudo)"Russian" butthurt that is incapable to accept reality. These photos shows prototypes, programs were later cancelled because Soviet Union disappeared (which was good, mistake was to cancell these projects). You are Bellarussian, which means you are not...

Oh, god, can someone kill this (pseudo)"Russian" troll? Look, a non existing tanks! Yes ladies and gentlemen, what we see do not exist! Yes, yes, they never reached the level of decomposition as this prototype of Boxer/Molot. :pound: Russia Strong!!!111!!!. :pound: But you know what...
