Priory_of_Sion Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Looks like it got whacked in the side so I don't even think an American model would withstand the hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoooSeR Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Looks like it got whacked in the side so I don't even think an American model would withstand the hit. I will just copy my post from T110 Also, video shows one thing (2nd tank) - turret busked with ammo make hull-down to be much less effective. Small rotation of turret reveal this part of turret for any fire, which is what Ansar Allakh ATGM operator managed to exploit (or was lucky to exploit). Basically, turret design compromise hull down tactics, allowing even for ancient ATGMs like Fagot (1970) and Konkurs (1974) to knock out of battle a pretty modern MBTs like M1A2SA. Fagot launcher can use Konkurs missiles, but both missiles are claimed to have 400-500 mm penetration. PG-29VR is over 700 mm, Kornet (old) - 1100, new version is up to 1300-1500 mm. Trajectory was something like this, maybe a bit closer to turret rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoooSeR Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Possibly it managed to get through roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashbotUS Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Looks more like the impact was to the center rear of the turret, maybe even caught the commanders hatch. Poor tactical training on the Saudi part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike E Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Those are M1A2SA Abrams tanks, export version, generally same as US M1A2, but without Holy DU/ceramics in frontal armor. AFAIK Saudi Arabia got a special armor package that is probably more effective than the others, excluding the DU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
