Not necessary HE round must be that shape

For example, this is the general purpose HE round used for 125mm guns

neh smoothbore also can do that with clever fin design.

if riffled gun, mean only the challenger 2 have it

Got also, google search also can


because the last real ATGM fired from a tank gun of western origin is the MGM-51 Shillelagh on the M551 Sheridan

the rest now are from 125mm gun which is again from eastern block (russion origin)

goes to wonder why the EC725 was not chosen when both is also marketed as tactical transport heli

Tat issue is minor for a heli. Both nh90 and ec725 was never designed to be desert operated. Nh90 also got issue in desert deployment as noted

For deploymen purposet.. well a ramp is always better. Do note that the nh90 was close to be chosen if not for some last minute changes for non ramp heli to participate for our cssr requirements

Bizarrely, this looks like an anti-tank gun shell designed to be fired from a rifled gun (note no stabilizing fins). If this shell is indeed a HEAT round then it will be a poor one indeed. For full effect of HEAT penetration to take place, the round can't be used with a rifled gun. The spinning movement of the shell rifling will deform the plasma jet created when the warhead detonates and the plasma cannot concentrate its jet stream to punch into armor effectively . That's why you always see HEAT rounds with stabilizing fins, so they don't need the spinning movement of the rifling to generate accuracy.


Why not, british know riffled reduce range but still go for it

Aiyo.. troop deplyoment purpose. A ramp entrance win anytime against door. Something the ec725 does not have is a ramp

Bo point talking armor. Both heli can be damaged even with a rpg7

most likely not HSE goyang kaki

most worker dont bother aboyt HSE, oily glove just throw one side. Some even smoke

HSE canot be babysitting 24/7

Might be not out for release yet that why still withold back

The system only work if the drone is still flying

The downgraded korea k2 tank

like u say, no other news worthy these days

Maybe with camera.

Just that lil kim is to show face

Any export variant is bound to have some downgrade especially armour technology

what make turkey dont mind is they have their own quite robust defence industry. They can cover its short comings with their own armour technology.

the korea k2 serve as the basic design for them to add their own indigenous design system.

i wonder how is tank active protection system is proceeding?

some how thropy system can reload on the go while arena and other hard kill active protection would require manual refill

M109

time to upgrade US, no matter how many time you upgrade an old horse, it still an old horse

though the pzh2000 is the second oldest

The us air force and marine always get the newest gadget.

The army is always the underdog

But once enter land the mechanized division will lead

The price per unit sold to china was way higher because the russian know they will copy.

Only when china agree to sign ip protection agreement , then russian make the big discount for china.

Lol read from book.

I know someone from the last UN mission to kosovo

You dont like to be at end of the barrel with one triger you can kill someone. Not the feeling in the world

Nor when you walk around knowing you maybe shoot anytime.
