I doubt US ever sell any thing of Radio active ( Depleted Uranium ), Also no Ukrainian..
Depleted Uranium is called depleted because it's not more radioactive than radioactiveness of environment. The problem is that DU is a heavy metal, and most heavy metals are toxic.
So You can without any hazards sit on pile of depleted uranium and nothing will happen, but try to "eat" part of it, or breath DU dust and it's poisonous effects might endanger Your life.
But just the same problems are with Tungsten alloys seen as so life friendly and at... but only for short time, there were made efforts to clean Tungsten alloys from toxic materials...
But yeah, we all know, eco lunatics are against DU only because it has Uranium in name, not because they made any research to compare it against "friendly" Tungsten.
What is wrong with the Arjun turret anyway? You seem to find so many faults based on mere "superficial" and hollow observation based on exterior observations from pictures. I dont quite understand your hate towards arjun because you started off your loud mouthing right from day one in the forum, with NO data on the tank and judging everything wrongly based on your limited knowledge of online surfing. You just took one look at the tank and started judged it based on who made it. This is exactly why i dont accept any of your arguments even today after you learnt a bit about the tank, because your a superficial fellow.
I'am not sure if You even understand principles of tank designing.
As I said, with current turret eometry that is a western standard, it is nececity to not only give it good pure frontal aspect protection, but also good sides protection to increase protection within safe manouvering angles.
Safe manouvering angles principle, tells us that vehicle frontal protection is within 60-65 degrees front arc, and this means that for this frontal protection, not only purely frontal armor is responsible but also side armor.
It was discovered that side armor is very important for frontal protection and two way to solve this problem were taken.
In west side armor is made as a very thick composite armor cavity, not less than ~300mm thick. And here two schools of designing were crated, US and European.
US school preffers to place such thick composite armor over full side turret lenght, while Europan school preffers to protect by such means only crew compartment leaving turret bustle weakly ;rotected, thus turret have less weight.
Arjun turret however, designed mostly on wester ideology as base, do not have side armor designed by both western schools. There is a composite armor but placed only on less than half of turret side lenght. This means that both, crew compartment and turret bustle are not protected from sides at 30-35 to 90 degrees from turret longitudinal axis.
It means that vehicle is highly vurnable also from frontal arc hits.
Do You understand this, and for at least one time, can You stop this national pride talk, and understand that I do not hate Arjun tank, I do not hate India, but I only criticize a design, that is not design from protection point of view, within any tank designing principles?
Also problemaic is a fact that turret is very wide and have wide gun mantle mask. Thick yest but we need to understand that gun itself will weight around 2 to 3 tons and gun mantle armored mask cannot be dense and thus heavy, so we have there very wide weak zone, and probablity of hit in this place will increase.
We also have main sight placed in a cut out "window" in front armor, it means two thing. A weak zone in armor, of course there is armor cavity behind sight, but due to lack of space it will be thinner, and composite armor need high volume of itself to increase it's effectiveness.
This also makes main sight vurnable for any hits in to front armor, and these are more probable due to fact that allways, we aim in target center mass.
Main sight placed completely behind front armor and going though turret roof, increase frontal armor protection, decrease front weak zones number and size, and makes main sight less vurnable to front armor hits.
It have also other benefit, FCS and main sight components, that are mostly very big, placed completly behind armor, adds additional layer of protection, especially against spall, projectile and armor fragments, we can say that they act then somewhat like spall liner.
So this is not a hate speech, it only You that for some reason, national pride and such thing, can't accept such argumentation, or tank designing principles, made in different countries and based on their greater experience in tank combat and tank designing.
The stryker can run fast for sure but it cant fire on the run at least not side ways and the ejection of used shell casings seems like such a waste when IA always tends to reuse them.
Stryker can fire moving and with turret facing any direction.
As for spent casings, there is no need and also space to store them inside. Overall solid, metal casings are thing of the past in fact. Semi combustible casings are better in that regard, however for 105mm rifled gun, it seems nobody ever bothered to design semi combustible casings.
