  1. Medium Caliber Cannons Effectiveness vs Urban Targets http://warfaretech.blogspot.ru/2014/03/medium-caliber-effectiveness-vs-urban.html And more about this subject http://www.dtic.mil/ndia/2012armaments/Thursday13673Voorde.pdf
  2. So any news from joint French-German tank-company producers? Any hint about their new project?
  3. That MERA...i like this name It is 2-piece device where both parts are equally important. As i understood explosives creates a shockwaves and vibration in ballistic part, that increase it's ability to fuck up HEAT jets and APFSDS (i guess). So, Object 477 could load it's 8-shots autoloader only when turret was in -+20 degrees arc to hull.
  4. APS is not better than passive armor, they are not a same thing. APS adds a layer of protection, but it simlly can't replace actual armor. Kurganets-25 got big side armor modules with ERA or NERA, Bumerang don't have APS at all. T-15 have protection level higher than any previous tank in Russian Army, so it don't rely on APS for protection. And Zaslon APS is crap.
  5. Afganit is what i call inderect energy weapon/APS :-D Malakhit is not "better Relikt", it is other way around. Armata still use ERA, because each module still have explosives in it, but their new ERA is blend between conventional ERA and NERA.
  6. Malakhit was pre-Relikt ERA for Object 187 tanks, it is old model of ERA (20+ years) that never was produced. I don't know why your source attached old ERA with news about new tank and it is not like Malakhit is better than Relikt, so there is no reason to use it instead of Relikt. Moreover, UGP Armata is equipped with new ERA design (if it is ERA), name of wich is unknown. For any other Armata-related question we have a thread dedicated to UGP Armata called "GLORIOUS T-14 ARMATA PICTURES".
  7. That Shmaiser looks like MP-40! Such terrible cosplay.
  8. Taiz, Yemen (3rd largest city in Yemen). Saudi M88 recovery vehicle (?) Not far from Aden.
  9. My uncle have a shotgun in his house that he used like never. He is retired police high rank officer, so he could get more fancy gun that pump action shotgun. And near his new house (outside of St.Petersburg) there is a shooting range where many FSB/MVD competitions are happening. Hezbollah in Zabadani. And here is their Daud-1 rocket:
