  1. Interesting, any more photo shows the front plate? In general it looks like such thing to me. a quick model
  2. Maybe there are two solid plugs behind the mantlet corresponding to two large holes on the rotor?
  3. Yep,this refers specifically to the "Gun Shield" mentioned in this video, IIRC it should be called "Funktionsmodul".
  4. From drawing annoation. It's AlMg4.5MnW
  5. Indeed the Leopard 2A5/6/7's gun mount structure is the best protected I've ever seen. I suppose the two hinged modules have the same plates as the mantlet's "KE-Modul" excluding the ~30mm frontwall and air gap , so it's probably ~330mm thick(if considering the frontwall to maintain same total steel thickness it might be ~360mm), with ~210mm armor steel rotor and additional wedge heavy NERA, the equivalent steel thickness on the entire path is over 600mm and close to 700mm, even thicker at the trunnion position, though the rotor has a lot of holes to install recoil mechanisms and MG.etc. , IMO it's still quite enough just in terms of protecting crews. Sketch not stand for real things.
  6. Does anyone know which document or patent this picture comes from?
  7. Interesting stuff, do u have the original source or file? I also want to make a scale model
  8. AFAIR, from this paper AN OVERVIEW OF PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY FOR GROUND AND SPACE APPLICATIONS
  9. To clarify this point, I post these schemes in weibo for easy illustration purpose, I don't want to post original source pics because the weibo platform is a place full of marketing accounts, if you do not make any process in your posts then they will turn into other peoples money, that's what I dont want to see,and my blog is non-profit account, I only post message to my readers and if any one is interested in details can make comments below posts or PM me. In short, it is made by environment. As for MILAN, I know its core dia is 95mm, if you mean this point why you don't stress HOT isn't 136mm?
  10. Of course from real documents. Not very old, there're some files varied from 1985 to 1990.
