Fallout Re: MBT's

Is this the same as a HEF round...
125-mm HE-Shrapnel Focused-fragmentation, Ainet
Maximum Aimed Range (m): 5,000
Max Effective Range (m): Day: 4,000
Night: 800-1,300
Tactical AA Range: 4,000-5,000
Armor Penetration (mm): INA

The above is taken for the T-80U from the USA WEG (Worldwide Equipment Guide) starting on page 4-21 you will also note they provide ammo load/typical combat load information. Also Day and Night ranges for the ammo and notes delineate restrictive factors such as imposed by sights etc.

I've posted these in here, probably in this thread(?), this the 1999 version (Mentions the T-80UD as just coming on line for the Ukraine.

Maybe this might prevent some hair pulling!?!

I'll bet anything
there's some JANE's in this data, the format is almost the same as well w/o the pictures.

Starting to feel the reason why I got up, time to read a book (On Brain Boru most interesting person.) and back in the rack!?!

DONE!! Sometimes we forget what's so obvious when compared civilian sources we normally deal with out here. This doesn't include the FM equipment guides myself and others have posted out here. Certainly better for our purposes when they can be used versus the conjecture of BLOGS and especially anything WIKI where any of us can be "experts" and change data on a whim.
