Leopard is no slouch
Depleted uranium hull can only help so much
Modern tank armor is bullshit, and that's before you consider the fact that the Abrams can out-speed the Hellcat, which had paper-mache armor and couldn't be upgunned because the recoil would bend the frame
It does not stop RPGs
That's why I said it will depend on the armies and not tank models
Sad Fact: did you know most white tigers are made from the product of incest. Breeders force tigers with the gene to have sex multiple time until the produce a white tiger, then they force the new white tiger to have sex with itโs mother to produce more white tigers. ๐
Except it does? RPGs aren't very effective anti-tank weapons. You can disable a modern MBT but unless you have actual modern anti-tank rockets you're just gonna annoy the tank crew.
white cats be like
shaped charge is the most effective thing against armour today
RPG is but a delivery method
Actually, RPGs are incredibly effective based on the location of the shot. You have to remember that RPGs aren't just an explosion. It's a layer of superheated copper travelling hundreds of miles an hour through a steel plate.
That's a HEAT weapon
That's why they're used against tanks.
the AT stands for Anti-Tank
jfc
Yup.
HEAT head will melt half a meter of steel and kill what's on the inside if they get a chance to connect
Standard RPG is literally a *Rocket Propelled Grenade*
AT is just a solid chunk of uranium or similar density
Has to connect properly, modern armor is designed to diffuse it some
Often by making it trigger at the wrong angle or without a good connection
If you have layers HEAT can't do shit
or that
yeah
lol
spaced armor cheeses it
It's my understanding that HEAT is becoming a ton more common.
Weapons like it are, entirely because you don't need to rely on physics to brute force through
ya, tanks be damned.
that stops HEAT
As well as chain skirts
Chain skirts are also multi-hit protection
Have you heard about that afghan "pop" tank killers?
it's a myth.
We do have multi-stage projectiles now
AT head, then HEAT, then another AT, then another HEAT
