Looks like it could be exploitation, if it's far enough behind lines.

Penetration figures correspond to: CR1, 430-530mm - L23A1/L26A1 T-72, 480mm - BM-42 T-80, 530mm - BM-32 M1A1, 690mm - M829A1 Leo 2A4, 605mm - DM43(?) Why was there a distinction between T-72 and T-80? I'm not clear on which projectile for the Leo 2A4 was assessed. The performance seems too high for DM33, and AFAIK DM43 was never fielded by Germany.

While it is silly to use Wart chunder as a reference, it's not to farfetched to state that the ZTZ-96/99 series are protected over a smaller frontal arc than their Western and Russian counterparts, based on geometry. -

VT-4 is a different class of vehicle compared to MPF, there'd be little market overlap. -

The turret shape/size suggests a turret basket autoloader, similar to that of the XM8. -

Pepperpot muzzle brake with a pseudo cleft turret. Looks like this concept from a little while back: -
Wouldn't surprise me if it was a licensed DM33.

Thanks, more curious as to if there are any clues as to what the projectile is. AFAIK the A1 is a licenced DM43. From Ramlaen's excerpt, the details regarding the temperature insensitive propellant is reminiscent of the DM63.

Does anyone have an idea of what the KE-W A4 is, referenced in the press release linked below? https://www.dsca.mil/press-media/major-arms-sales/egypt-120mm-tank-rounds
