WHAT? There is no confirm that any single serial (not test prototypes) of the Merkava. Mk.IV had Trophy in 2006 in lebanon. Now Merkva Mk.IVM had as serial equipment Trophy-APS and in 3 confirm cases near gaza Borders Trophy on Merkavas was in use, in one case enemy ATGM even don't hit the...

Sweet Jesus Christ...this all talks about destroyed in 2006 in Lebanon Merkavas start to be boring. Most persons is writnig about destoryed Merkava's without any, even small, thinking about what tanks and when was destroyed. In fact only Merkava Mk.IV is on more or less NATO armoured level...

Archer, really - measure some LOS thickens is not rocket science. I made this for Leopard-2A4, for T-90A, and for other tank. My error was circa 2-5% depend on photo or taking mesurments points. It's not so difficult. And we have some Arjun Mk.I or prototypes interior turret photos. And it's not...

You don't understand the problem since 2012 at least :) Welding lines on armour can be misunderstand - for example for M1 Abrams line on top of the armour are diffrent then trully armour thickness, for Leopard-2A4 in som way too becouse they don't ending before but after quoite thick...

It was explain many times: Arjun turret looks like parody of the Leopard-2 ones: a) more width whole turret b) more width gun mantled mask c) lack protected by special armour turret sides on crew comparments hight d) lack nomal blow-out plates and "bunker" whit separated door for...

Ok, but any picture of the new round will we welcome :) The problem is that interiorr photos of the Arjun turret are not so blurred to not see obvious think - turret roof periscope is above gunner main sight (vision block) and this periscope in the roof is not IN but AFTER (or nex too)...

Anyway:

I take wrong lenght of this pocket. As I understand is circa 14cm as it's marked on photo? (those red line along pocket).

99% not. Arhun don;'t replicate here Leo-2A4 armour layout. Those small periscope in toreet rof is not INISDE armour cavity (as in Leo-2A4) but after it's backplate. So armour after main sight is ending on this persicope. Becouse it will explain those persicope question definetly. Based on...

First: second:

I know OT - Methos, any link, details about CLARA? Im looking bettr then Hilmes infos. PM?

Sure, thanks for claryfied thinks about indian ammo and tank program anyway. It's really interesting for polish point of view - especialy problem with the IMI and quality of they rounds... regards, Jaroslaw btw: Have I notice that Poland in 2001 bought licensed production for...

Thank You for this very valuable post! It explain my a lot about IA ammo and indian industry ammo. It's very interesting that first IMI round for India (penetrator) have problem - like slighty previous polish PRONIT has. The same scenario what is interesting. More then 20% PRONIT 125mm...

Any details? light alloys sabot or composite? assumed penetrator lenght? Or it will be 125mm penetrator and sabot converted to 120mm rifted ammo? Im just crusious :)

It will be almoust the same like on polish 125mm APFSDS ammo: in certified is used polish norm, what is copied ex soviet norm: more then 75% rounds must pass the limit, NATO norm is not so heavy -just 50% +1, difrence in both norms is about 8% in penetration. So this polish 125mm APFSDS...

From my polish point of viev any info about Indian tank program is interesting :) So any good news is welcome. Known pictures of the DRDO Arjun FSAPDS shwon somthing whit circa 300-400mm RHA max. I'm meaning internal layout -mostly penetrator lenght and SABOT build. To short, to conventional...

Now, the answer is - becuse both types Indian ERA have dimensions and weight almoust exatly teh same as Soviet/Russian Kontakt-1 and Kontakt-5 and in cse the first one even known internal structure is exatly the same as in Kontakt-1 case. Both looks like Indian copied ex Soviet ERA. Even given...

And what those part really mean? India got copied Konkat-1 ERA and Kontakt-5 ERA - dimension and (at least in indian copy Kontakt-1 ERA case) internal layout is teh same as in Soviet enalogues. Both ERA now are not very modern. Kontakt-1 is obsolate and con be enought only versus single HEAT...
