Amazing

OH MY GOD CAN WE ACTUATE THE CHEEK FLAPS

Most of the front hull is kruppstahlium too

Yeah, imagine my shock, it's the second most well protected tank in the world

Right behind the Chally 2

Actually no

The chally 2 isn't as good

If the turret was 800mm kinetic on the Chally they wouldn't be planning to change it

heh. heheheh.

Yeah, well combat reports for the Chally 2 make it literally impenetrable to basically every ATGM and RPG that is currently fielded.

You need to bust out the real good triple-HEAT to crack them open

You do realize that it has no armor on the lower plate?

Or above the driver's hatch?

The Chally 2? It took an RPG-29 to crack through the lower plate.

You could do it with a tandem RPG-7

29 is overkill

Uhm, no.

and that is with ERA

The Chally has been hit multiple times with tandem warheads.

Most can't get through the thinner layers, let alone the main slabs

The composite on turret front/side and upper hull can withstand any RPG, including the 29

but lower hull only had 70-80mm steel originally

so they put ERA on it

>originally
Yes, and now it's reinforced.

once that got busted through with a tandem RPG-29 they put a composite block on it

that should stop RPGs

but it's likely not enough against modern russian KE penetrators like Svinets-1 and 2

Russians don't use APFSDS as their main shell

and the are above the driver's hatch is still only steel

ye they do

they have since the T-62

They have and always will focus on ATGM and HEAT-FS

Their ATGM's are by far the most dangerous weapon in their arsenal

125mm tank gun HEAT-FS hasn't changed significantly since the T-64

Um, u wot

gun-launched ATGMs are also mediocore because you can't increase their caliber

They have changed SIGNIFICANTLY

They have triple-charge HEAT-FS

that still does jack shit against western composites
