Soviet tank crew survival.

Listy,

The T-72 in the test was FULLY loaded with ammo and fuel. This no doubt had an effect on the test and the total destruction of the vehicle. It would serve no purpose to load the tank up with explosives just for shlts and giggles.

No reason?

How about impressing US politicians who know squat about armaments with a flashy display to ensure project survival?

Do you have any proof about how that test was set up, and that it wasn't tampered with?

I've seen test videos covering "sim-loaded" T-72M hit by rbs56, and the effect is nowhere similar. Loaded T-72 hit under actual combat doesn't disintegrate like that.

The Jav video is the anomaly, and then it becomes your responsibility to support your claim that there was no doctoring of this test.

Sorry, a line of text from "cut and paste" Strategypage doesn't cut it...

Go to my Javelin post and click on the strategy page web site. The article explains a little about how the tests were done.

I've read that exact same post, with slightly different wording, made by a half-dozen other know-nothings on at least three different boards already... and let me tell you you're not bringing anything new to the table at all.

A propellant conflagration is not that violent, look at photos of KK T-72 by HEAT or APFSDS from actual wars, the hull stays at least relatively intact even if they pop their turrets.

Get a clue dude. Its no crime being no expert, but pretending to know wtf you're talking about when you're not won't win you any respect.
