Hi,

i can can well understand that the large amounts of chain fixed to this Centurion might well negate RPG's, but the chain added to some Israeli tanks in the one location I referred to consists of lengths about a foot long and are spaced about six or more inches apart. Surely a RPG is likely to pass between the lengths rather than strike any of them ?   If this measure is anti RPG would it not be better to hang the chain lengths with virtually no space between them as per the Centurion ?

Can anyone please advise as to why some Israeli tanks have short lengths of chain suspended from the rear bustle of the turret ?
