Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology

[BON PLAN]

you can consider a prototype but all in all I'd prefer a comparison of the four

The bigger the gun is (and not comparing a modern gun with a ww2 one of course...) the higher energy it has.
The longer the rod is, the higher energy it gave to the bullet.

What do you all think about the next-gen MBTs, such as the AbramsX or KF51 Panther?

KF51 is just hype and bad design choices, AbramsX has some interesting choices, that I think will be important in future (like electric drive) but overall Im not too impressed by either design.

MIDKNIGHT FENERIR-00 , I wasn't really joking when I said the K2 wasn't good enough. Sure, it's got some novel features but it's got some pretty glaring weak spots and vulnerabilities as well!!

Chinese VN-20 infantry fighting vehicle seems to be a mixed bag. It's a beast in terms of tonnage and armament compared to the western IFVs, but seems a bit unwieldy for its role.

Check this analysis out:

Let's be real here, its armor will be just as useless as that of any other IFVs against the weapons it'd expected to be facing such as RCL guns and ATGMs or even tanks. A STANAG Level VI is gonna be just vulnerable as IV.

Check out the image below. I have circled the external component of the Shtora ECM system on a Russian tank. Can't find any similar images of Indian T-90S tanks. Pickleball Opinion

Indian T-90s don't have shtora.. it's replaced by ERA tiles.

PS: there's no image attached & noone cares about gay-tennis

TBH with how useless SHTORA's dazzlers are, us having Kontact 5 there is a blessing

I don't think those are cope cages.

Probably cost a million each to make five of these, following which all those "military expert" morons on Youtube who usually jeer at Arjun would go gaga over Japanese "engineering"

Yeah, true, I'm one of those jeerers and for good reasons but this Japanese travesty on tracks is no less shitty either.

Ya'll Nibbiars 6 Million dollars that also in LRIP's. If was ever mass produced then would had costed much less. Their Armour, Drive and reverse drive technology are still unbeatable. Nano Crystal Steel, Fully Modular Ceramic Armour, Light weight Upper Armour. Advanced C4CI.

In the penetration resistance test, APFSDS type IV was used to shoot at full load from 250 Meters. The cost you Normally see also includes R&D cost as only 100 are ever produced. That's why it double the overall cost.

So you have bought into that whole "Nano Crystal Steel" shenanigans as well I see. Dude, hate to break it to you but it's just a clever marketing gimmick and not the sci-fi wonder-material that it has been portrayed as. Plus, its turret geometry is plain atrocious and I'm being gentle here.
