neh smoothbore also can do that with clever fin design.

if riffled gun, mean only the challenger 2 have it

HE is different from HEAT. HE is solid-packed while HEAT is hollow charge. You can get away with a conventional-looking shell with HE load, but I think HEAT need to have specialized shape, especially the probe.


HEAT rounds on left and HE round at right

Also, I am also coming into the belief that the shot is from an X-rod, a rocket-assisted guided tank shell. If you google "x-rod fired from tank" most of the images will be the same as the one I have posted.

why not atgm?

French military orders more tactical transport helicopters

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

cuz it looks like a pure projectile round, i dun see any way its "guided" or its even a "missile"

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.

French ran into problems with EC725 in desert, cannot operate in temp >40 degrees, sand filter ineffective, high engine maintenance compared to NH90.

obviously for long range patrol, obviously for south china sea

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

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

eh I dunno just what I've read online. Somehow or other NH90 more tahan. So EC725 switch to CSAR and medevac only, spec ops use NH90... except for missions which need air-to-air refuel cause only EC725 can do that.

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

A big change is coming to the Marine Corps

at 2009 if not wrong Nh90 not in our helicopter tender, Eurocopter propose EC725, other is S92, AW101，Mh-17.
NH90 no issue now in desert operation, NH90 use alot in Afghanistan and mali as CSAR。

Nh90 design is for Navy and best helicopter for navy due to balancing in term size, space & technology。 later Army version as transportation/SCAR helicopter.
Nh90 have very long range fly so not really need refuel. it can fly 900km with 2.5 tons load. 1600km ferry range with external fuel tank.
Special Ops use EC725 more suitable， it design more to Air-force and Ops team use.

Indeed, EC725 was for spec ops use but due to aforementioned problems French spec ops switching back to NH90... except EC725 has aerial refuel capability so Frenchies kinda

So now French mainly use EC725 for CSAR which is actually 1 of its main role, Germany and we also use it for CSAR

More like resistance towards bullets and splinters eg RPG frag warhead. I'm sure its not for nothing EC725 invest 1 whole ton in armor and missile avoidance systems.
