Because more powerful 140mm gun will have a higher recoil da!

ETC technology based ammo can achieve that muzzle velocity even higher with powder alone . Who knows it's already secretly in use.

Challenger is better suited for such a big gun than leclerc though. Engine probably to get a upgrade in challenger.

But armata gun has managed 2050 m/s in trials how ? Could it be using ETC technology ?

ATGM getting wrecked by hard kill APS. While LEO is on move. no future for non APFSDS rounds. even top attack ones Days are numbered . Only a saturation attack has a chance to overwhelm the system.

140mm APFSDS next to 120mm one. medium and light tanks days are numbered. There is a limit to how much you can push even with ERA. Heavy MBT are the only one surviving tank on tank battle or anything in future. So the notion that tank weight need to be kept low in 50 tonne range is just pure...

Nexter claimed 70% increase in performance. Muzzle velocity would probably be upward of 2500 m/s. Upcoming Franco-German MBT will be a game changer and will dominate Europe decades to come. Russian's will have to build that 152mm gun or they are a done deal.

Nexter 140mm gun Leclerc MBT. Only time such a big gun has been effectivily placed on a 50 tonne range tank without any problem.

Leclerc with 140mm gun will be a beast , it to will require a new engine.

Challenger 2 upgrade with it's RheinMetall 130mm gun. New armour , new autoloader, new ammo etc. This type of upgrade 124 Arjun need.

Object 195 with it's 152mm gun. size compared to M1A2. gun new version under development has been cancelled recently due to failure to maintain high chamber pressure. Probably will require new material technology which will take time.

from left • Mango APFSDS > 220 mm/ 60° at 2 km , 11 MJ. • M829 APFSDS > 120 mm/60° at 2 km , 11 MJ. • Svinets 1 APFSDS > 350 mm/60° at 2km , 12 MJ • DM 53 APFSDS > 340 mm/60° at 2km , 13 MJ. • 2A82 gun vacuum 1 APFSDS > 450 mm/60° at 2 km , 14 MJ. Improved version 2A82-1M used in armata...

Tanks will be getting heavy going into the future there's no way around it. Armata type configuration is the only way to keep weight down some what. even armata tin can turrent will probably get a heavy armour and gun upgrade. Pushing weight upward of 60 tonne. It will get Harder and harder for...

Tanks are going nowhere. It's ATGM , HEAT, HESH rounds which are going to face judgement day in coming future , since hard kill APS have come a long way. There are method like precursor tip used in RPG 30, and some other APFSDS to Fool hard kill and ERA but they can also be dealt with in future...

This issue was raised by even russian military during testing, since it's turret was getting hammered badly by low calibre rounds and i heard they asked for some redesigning which will happen for production model. I think russian will go for 152mm version in later models while export version...

@ArgonPrime what capabilities you like to see in NGMBT ? If it did happen..... would you want it to be similar to Armata platform or something different ?

T 90S provide 830- 850mm against a KE penetrator. For a 48 tonne tank from protection to fire power + logistics , it stomp's Arjun from a mile away.( I won't even go into that buying from Russia has a strategic and geopolitical angle as well ). Rumours has it that T 90S composite armour using...

drift of spinning round from a rifled gun due to yaw of repose will directly affect a longer projectile & since future requirements is achieving higher L/D ratio. Good luck achieving higher accuracy at longer ranges with required KE using rifled gun so @ArgonPrime is right in his analogy. It's...

Recently, the mass media actively advertise the dynamic protection "KNIFE" and "DUPLET" of Ukrainian design, for example, on the website of the SC "Ukrspetsexport". Scientific and production company JSC "Research Institute of Steel", part of the machine-building and industrial group "Tractor...

Americans and western European post 2030 time frame are all moving towards Electrothermal chemical technology. Americans are not going for new tank instead upgrading old one for simple reason , they are waiting for technology to mature. Which they think will happen by 2030.
