APFSDS from a rifled gun? I always thought that imparting spin stabilization to a Fin Stabilized shot decreased its performance.User Trials of 120mm FSAPDS Mk II for Arjun Mk I/II MBT successfully completed.

I guess DRDO found a way around that, perhaps a slip ring? Anyone got any insider info how they achieved it. Because 500 mm penetration is decent.
US made M829A2 DU penetrators have around 730mm of RHA penetration when fired from 2km away. And this was in the 1990s.
500mm seems tame in comparison, though, perhaps DRDO isn't revealing actual values.
