This must be a misunderstanding -I guess we're talking here about the tandem-HEAT round which does exist. I'll have to look into my old correspondence with Siddhi, a former poster on this forum, whose information was more credible on the subject than anyone else's so far.

Given that it was "Siddhi" who wrote in post #491356 that........ "In 2004 a "Tandem-SABOT" was developed that reportedly allows up to 1,000mm penetration........". IDK how that could be a "misunderstanding". It's clear he wrote "Tandem-SABOT" not "tandem-HEAT"

I just got another volume of Urrisk's work (#11, "100 Years of Armor in Austria"), and in it he mentions a Tandem-HEAT grenade with that much penetration:

...eine neue Hohlladungs-Granatpatrone mit einer Durchschlagsleistung vom mehr als 100cm Panzerstahl...
