The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
Oldguy replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
There was an article in a defence magazine in the late 70s that reported that the Soviets were experimenting with wood inserts, it was theorised that pressure treated wood could be quite effective against penetrators because the fibres would slow and bind it. The same article also mentioned the use of sand as an insert, given the filler in a T 72A, I wonder now how true it was?
