? :shocked:Are you drunk ?
Don't be so cocky and quick. Books are not needed here because real life gives us photos of the real stuff.SO all the fortifications, light vehicles and pretty much any enemy target has spaced armor.Can you enlighten us which authoritative book that says Al Zarrar has spaced armor? OHHHH, books are only needed when it is convenient to ram your views, not needed when the other guy asks a question.

Burned Al Zarrar, we can see that turret have a different shape than standard T-54/55.
But photo of other tank with front plate removed reveals a T-54/55 cast turret underneath.

Conclusion is simple, a spaced armor, simple protection and not effective against shaped charges, but very effective against HESH.
It is possible that such protection was added for some Al Zarrar tanks intentionally, to gave them cheap protection against HESH ammunition.
As for protection of light weight platforms or structures, there is no problem to place such simple protection against HESH on them.
