  1. Explosive ordnance types found in Afghanistan: https://jmu.edu/cisr/research/OIG/Afghanistan/high res/ Explosive ordnance types found in Iraq: https://jmu.edu/cisr/research/OIG/Iraq/highres/
  2. Good thing I immediately saved it when someone linked the full source: https://mega.nz/#!opMXQI4Y!FYsJor8vYic7ZdjiETtbPIna20PAOVhjPEML9MTmilU
  3. (Or the complete models so I can CFD them ) Welcome to SH by the way!
  4. Do tank stories from dad count?
  5. https://mobile.twitter.com/TitanicKyle/status/1117926588652371968 Interior seems to be mostly intact!
  6. What a shame about the Notre Dame...
  7. Why worry about calculating firing tables for M829A1 when they're more or less publicly available?
  8. One of my colleagues already went on a tirade of how islam is evil and how people will keep defending it blah blah blah. ...we haven't even caught the shooter yet, let alone have his/her motive. When I asked him about it, he replied "Look at western people, we don't just randomly start shooting!" Eeeehh dude....
  9. I'm fine, everyone. (I live/work about an hour away).
  10. Looks like someone forgot height is a thing in targeting.
  11. Shape stabilisation increases drag though, and increasing drag together with lowering mass is a double whammy for your deceleration numbers. Although I haven't checked if the increase in Mv offsets the increase in drag.
  12. What a fucking retarded statement. Fuck off.
  13. Oh boy, we already had Uralvagonzavodskis vs Kharkovites, now we got KMW vs IBD as well? Nice!
  14. This is a list of materials I've found in the papers I have about SLERA, NxRA and NERA. It is by no means complete or containing only materials that are actually fielded, it's just what I've found: Glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) hardened with Desmodur N100 GAP (hardened) with CaCO3 GAP (hardened) with Guanidinazotetrazolat GAP (hardened) with varying amounts of RDX "Rubber or GAP" with a layer of Dottikon Perbunan NBR PU FKM SI Dyneema HB26 Carbon reinforced rubber Glass reinforced rubber Kevlar reinforced rubber PBO reinforced rubber But there's probably more, this is all I could find in the grand total of three papers I have on this topic.
  15. Of course, because things take time, the warhead has a certain velocity detonation waves have a certain velocity, shockwaves have a certain velocity and long rod penetrators have a certain velocity. Take all of these things together and it means that you have to detonate your warhead long before you reach the point you actually want to act on. And come on Zuk, I thought you had at least a middle schooler's level of understanding of physics. The fins simply give a ton more surface area for the shockwave to act on.
  16. See, this is what I meant with this: They work by acting on the fins of the APFSDS.
  17. I thought you knew how APS intercepts APFSDS, my dude. You should take a look at linear actuators. They're basically hydraulics but electric, but also retardedly quick. 50 kg pushing force at 1 m/s is standard for these things. Add a lever action or gearing or whatever and suddenly you can open and close heavily armoured shutters in milliseconds. You want guided shells, but also KETF, see how you can combine those two. You can't mount the guiding in the front because that would interfere with proper KETF operation, and if you mount them in the rear you need to fold the fins somewhere, eating into your available space at astonishing rates.
  18. @Collimatrix look what I found! https://defenceforumindia.com/forum/threads/arjun-main-battle-tank-mbt-mark-i.9558/page-309#post-1378368
  19. Visible barrel length vs actual barrel length of a Leopard 2A6 barrel:
