FORMATOSE reacted to SH_MM in The Leopard 2 Thread
Yes, 105 mm APDS from 800 metres distance; same as MBT-70. The US tank concepts (such as LK 10322) from the early 1970s have probably similiar armor thickness (at least the ones with a weight < 50 tons ).

So, that was this strange-looking ballistic-capped HESH round which was presented at the 1976 British Army Equipment Exhibition.

Most interesting. I'm surprised that by the 1980s the British were still wed to HESH. They really were enchanted with that horrible stuff.

I was informed over another forum by a person highly connected to the military who usually gets first hand information. I believe it didn't get any media coverage.
