@DRatka1 found very interest data about M1A2 Abrams hull frontal armor package - it is equipped with tandem Ceramic Armor Package, that provided 33-35% increase in protection vs KE and 25% increase vs SC threats.

A shot of the Nexter 140 mm tank rounds on display at DSEI this year. A BLOS round and APFSDS are visible on the right, with standard NATO 120s on the left. The Nexter rounds are monsters as you can probably see.

This is the hull of an American M48 or M48A1 under construction. The whole thing has been formed from one single casting. Due to the nature of the process cast components were very rarely completely identical.

Very interesting know-how from the Russian Defence Industry, a T-80UD covered by foamed material. The new cover is composite material and is consist from the Styrofoam and Polyurethane.
This stealth material work like common camouflage, reduce the IR signature, also work like the RAM (Radar-Absorbing Material).

Something new .
Premiere of "Army-2021": a novelty in the field of wheeled armored vehicles will be shown at the forum
At "Army-2021" a new multipurpose armored amphibious vehicle will be shown for the first timeA promising combat reconnaissance amphibious vehicle (BRM) will be presented for the first time at the Army-2021 forum, sources in the military-industrial complex told Gazeta.Ru. In the future, it can become a platform for a whole family of military equipment. Military observer "Gazeta.Ru" Mikhail Khodarenok learned the tactical and technical characteristics of a promising machine.
The newest Russian combat reconnaissance amphibious vehicle, which has not even received its own name, is intended for conducting close and deep tactical reconnaissance, carrying combat, marching and patrolling of troops, as well as for combating enemy reconnaissance and reconnaissance and sabotage groups.In the design of the BRM chassis (wheel arrangement 4x4), units and assemblies of the Atlet family cars are used. The layout is made with the location of the power compartment in the middle of the armored body of the vehicle.
On the sides and in the stern, one single-wing door is made for embarking and disembarking a combat crew. BRM is equipped with optical-electronic reconnaissance complexes with thermal imagers, radar reconnaissance means and small drones, radio direction-finding and acoustic reconnaissance means. Together, all this equipment is connected by an onboard information and control system (CIUS).
The armament on the BRM is the Arbalet-DM remote-controlled combat module (armament - 12.7-mm 6P49 Kord machine gun or 7.62-mm PKTM machine gun).
A number of experts suggest that the newest BRM may eventually replace the armored reconnaissance and patrol vehicle BRDM-2, which was mass-produced from 1963 to 1982 by the Gorky Automobile Plant and from 1982 to 1989 by the Arzamas Machine-Building Plant.
BRM is an initiative development of the manufacturer and so far, even, strictly speaking, is not a military product. The car does not yet have an advertising passport and an export passport. Therefore, BRM with difficulties broke through to the "Army-2021"

US Army nears choosing first battalion for ERCA
QuoteWASHINGTON — The U.S. Army is nearing the selection of an existing Field Artillery Battalion that will get the first set of the Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) system, according to Brig. Gen. John Rafferty, who is in charge of the service’s Long-Range Precision Fires modernization efforts.
Fielding will take place in 2023, but the Army will have to announce the unit with enough time to carry out a year-long operational assessment, he said at the Association of the U.S. Army’s Global Force Next virtual event on March 16.
At the same time, the Army is synchronizing the delivery of ammunition to include propellant and course-correcting fuses for the operational assessment, Rafferty said.
The assessment will be critical for working through “the operational concept for how we fight with general support artillery fires and a Division,” he said.
The service will also take real-time soldier feedback to the engineers who are working on the next Battalion set of ERCA systems.

IMO this drawing is not very accurate. This black corner must be out.
