^^ 3bm32 apfsds
It's 3BM-42 for me.Iranian APFSDS,,,, hmm
looks like BM-17 clone

IMHO it's possoble that those picture is photoshoped or just bad rescale during making those brochure - IMO it's just poor making brochure then reality. Known 125mm chineese APFSDS show us max lenght projectile 630-650mm whit max lenght rod 560-580mm and whole penetrator lenght under 600mm -so it's between 3BM42 mango and Sniviets-1. In that case perforamnce of that round will be circa 600mm RHA at 2000m.I don't think that this is correct. By scale the HEAT round would be 90-93 cm long, while the actual Soviet HEAT ammunition - which has the same relations (regarding length) between standoff charge and warhead and also between warhead and fin section - has a total length of ~67 cm. IMO the whole image has been rescaled wrongly, the height was enlarged while the width was kept. If we assume that the HEAT round has the same size as a normal 125 mm HEAT round, then the upper APFSDS and the lower one are (nearly) the same.
yep, it 3BM-42 alright, thanks for correctionIt's 3BM-42 for me.
I hope the BM Oplot can use such round.i suspect we have this with T-80uds too...
The image has been rescaled falsely. The width was kept while the height was increased. Just look at the HEAT round - it has folding fins; if you count twice the fin height to the diameter of the rod connecting the fins and tracer to the warhead, you'll end up with a value larger than the diameter of the warhead/round. Thus the HEAT round would not fit into the barrel of a 125 mm gun...its not a photoshop, genuine round. also exported to Bangladesh with their 44 MBT 2000 deal.
First of all - fit that long projectile is impossible in serial AZ and 6ETs autoloader casettes -in both cases max projectile lenght is close to circa 640-650mm lenght.^^
Would storage and loading of such a round be a problem for crew?
6ETs series of autoloaders are also known as MZ or Механизм зарÑÐ¶Ð°Ð½Ð¸Ñ as they are popularly called. Used only in T-64, T-80 and T-84 series of tanks.@militarysta;
You can question? What is 6ET?
Understand.. Entangled in transcription Amendment. 6ETS-10, 10M, 15 had T-64A. 6ETS-40 and 40-2C in the T-64B, the T-6ETS43 in T-80U, 6ETS43-2C in the BM Bulat. I could a little error - writing from memory. All the tanks with the ML , starting with a series "B" can be recharged ATGM "Cobra" long-975 mm and 34 kg of high explosive rounds. There hydraulics and he is not fundamentally important weight. So earlier figures data is not correct and, with a little alteration of this mechanism can be used for the 140-mm ammunition.6ETs series of autoloaders are also known as MZ or Механизм зарÑÐ¶Ð°Ð½Ð¸Ñ as they are popularly called.

In Russian autoloader is designated as 6ÐЦ10 which should translate in to 6ETs10.
Akim, are You sure that is possible to put in ML casette 975mm long projectile? It's not manually loaded?Understand..

Thanks!Missile consists of three main parts, where the first long 730 mm. For tanks T-64 and T-80 with T-6ETS40(43) in 1991 adopted the projectile 3BМ44М, where the active part of the = 730 mm, and the core of about 580 mm. I don't know applied it in Russia, in Ukraine, it is definitely not have. Ukraine, in the middle of 90-s has developed its version of 3BМ44U. There are also rounds 3BМ44U1 with long core 700-720 mm for ML 6ETS43-2S ( no accurate data , I haven't seen them).
