ISIS destroyed Iraqi Abrams with Kornet (turret frontal hit)

An M1 with Hezbollah symbols on it looks so awkward.

Imagine what i feel when i see a T-64 with Azov neo-Scheiße symbols on it.

[Priory_of_Sion]

Strange times we live in. 

[Tied]

Could be worse

Could be a T-72

[CrashbotUS]

Any more of that M1 that was hit with the Kornet? Like after action type shots?

Kataib Hezbollah al-Abrams

 

Seems that they have put a ZU-23-2 in an armored turret on top of an M113 in the back there.

Only way that can be inproved by replacing the Gavin with a BTR-D for maxim Yurimobile

Two please... Or one with lots of spares..

[Scolopax]

I've seen several instances of BMP-1s getting the same treatment as above, if that works as well.

 

ZU-23s on top of M113s isn't as uncommon as I thought.  The Lebanese seem to have equipped a number of theirs in such a manner

 

Also, this is a thing too:

I think i posted several such things in Hands up, don't shoot ISIS thread.

 

 

Meplat, do you want this instead:

 

T-98 Kombat armored 4x4

 

 

 

 

or 

 

Falcatus for russian TsSN FSB?

I saw that one, I was just curious if there were any images of the destroyed M1.  The images in the ISIS thread appear to be the same tank. 

I'd like to see the results of the ATGM impact on the turret front.

Anyone need a fully functional Chieftain?

[LoooSeR]

They say that this one is fresh, from Iraq.

 

[CrashbotUS]

The first one looks like it was burned in place.

Abrams.

Was discussing this with Colli on TS to discuss whether or not this is heresy, he declared it Halal so, that being that.

 

Potential future armament for IFVs and Naval applications, the 50x330mm Supershot. Much like the 40mm Supershot CTA ammo, this isn't actually fully telescoped, and much like how the 40mm can fit certain 30mm guns with a simple barrel change, this is designed to do the same thing for 35x228mm systems. (Bushmaster already has a conversion set for their Bushmaster III cannon.)

 

NOW THEN, Cutaway.

 

 

35x228mm HEI-T and APFSDS-T vs 50x330mm Supershot HEI-T and uncut case, Note the identical width in the case and identical rims and even the primers are the same (the 35x228mm casing is 50mm in diameter, hence the not so shocking caliber of the supershot) and that it's the same overall length, this makes them quick changeable with very minor changes to the gun that can be done in the field.

 

And a computer image of both with an APFSDS-T round loaded.

 

 

Supposedly they hit like a ten ton hammer, with penetration figures at 230mm-250mm of RHA at 1000m, compared to the 40mm CTA's 180mm.

PDF on the above since apparently the US Military has at least looked at it, note how, even when the Bushmaster III is modified with the 50mm barrel, It doesn't really change size and is only slightly larger then the smaller 30x173mm Bushmaster II cannon.

I can't help but think of giant fart clouds whenever I see those.
