Glorious Arjun's frontal hull armor via @Wiedzmin on Otvaga. Very T-72M1-esque.

And here is unknown model of T-80 that was adopted for service - T-80B2.

 
   Main difference between T-80B2 and T-80B was GL-ATGM - instead of Kobra T-80B2 model was armed with 9M128 Agona GL-ATGM. In 1985, when development of Agona was reaching it's goal, Svir and Reflex GL-ATGMs were already adopted for service, making Agona irrelevant in eyes of Soviet Army. But tank was adopted for service before army made final decision, and that decision was not to produce T-80B2.
 

 
   Agona ATGM reached state trials in 1986 and was adopted for service in 1988. It had tandem HEAT warhead, ~600-650 mm RHA penetration. Guidance system was similar or same as with Kobra - radiocommand. 

Looks fine.

well it is, even vs DM63, but  20mm DM63 only, anyhow....
 

 

The Indian way : producing outdated concepts.
the worst ARV design ever. 

Went through my books - CR1 400 is the proposal that would ultimately become CR2. This provides a bit more context understanding the document.
 
This is the tweet I found them in but I'm not convinced it's the original source:

GIAT vintage video from 1983 about French APFSDS : basic principles, manufacturing process, quality control, testing, beyond-armour effect, packaging. I find it very interesting.

on drawing board stage why not (there was also cool artist drawing for one of MoD meetings where he draw a ball MG mount in turret front ) ? on serial vehicles none have any signs of it 
 

 
+ shape of sponsons itself will give one big weakspot if you try to put pack there, but will see, maybe more pics in higher res will apear 

sponson front is empty and destroyed, thats main UFP pack, as for 3 or more, pics are way too low quality, but yeah we can see 3 for now, and i kinda doubt that protection was improved since CR1...

Hooray we will be free of the SEP names.

Unfortunately he was not allowed to film the inside of the M10 Booker as it is a combat vehicle in active service. :-/
