only for tanks still reliant on ERA
most modern tank designs only use ERA on the sides and use composite armor that is not vulnerable to precursor charges
>that is not vulnerable to precursor charges
not true.
composite is nullified entirely (its bonuses) when two full caliber tandem charges, and this was revealed in an old brit cold war document on challenger armor.
as for the small precursor, it will cut a hole that the primary will go through, so it will still be of benefit, just not as much.
>composite is nullified entirely
not even close
NERA is at least 4 layers deep on the very earliest tanks and much more on modern arrrays, not counting the steel external armor and backing plate which also contribute to protection
precursor charges are of minimal use against
>as for the small precursor, it will cut a hole that the primary will go through, so it will still be of benefit, just not as much.
precursor charge expends all its energy on the ERA itself
if it hits plain armor, then it wastes all its energy on the
and the main charge wont pass cleanly through the same hole the precursor charge makes either, they arent laser beams
so it will likely hit an unaffected armor segment
and even if it went straight through the same hole as the first, it will hit the second later of the array
most of the work done is by the first NERA plate it hits, with diminishing returns on each additional one
so as long as a single layer of NERA is present it will work as advertised

Depending what precursor.
PG7VR precursor is literally main warhead from the RPG-18 with 300mm RHA pen.
And NERA doesn't stop shaped charge jet, it disturbes it, finally it is stopped by backing.
Select the RIGHT answer.
How many Israeli tanks and APCs have been destroyed? >0 >All of them
It's either one of the two, so I don't want to hear any twos, or twenties.
RPGs are nowhere as good at blowing up tanks as movies depict. That said, there are many cases where it happened and they're comparatively affordable enough that 1 failed doesn't mean they'll stop trying until it works or the users die.
>hey guys what do you think of my twitter post?
>I need comments for the algorithm
It seems to work well enough on the Merkava.
The RPG-7 you typically see in durka durka hands penetrates 300 millimeters
The RPG ammo Hamas is using penetrates 600 millimeters after ERA
depends on the rocket used, where the hit lands on the tank, and weather or not gods smiling on you this day
as it has always been
what is this uncircumcised penis rocket called?
PG-7VR
Tandem charge. it KILLS the tankfag

that is, the precursor is full caliber. if you look at kornet, it has this arrangement.

Not the one you just posted, no.
from the sides, sure if it hits the parts without composite armor
from the front or on the turret, not gonna happen
production quality has some variation, a monday tank with a bad batch of steel might get pierced by things that by design shouldnt be able to do that.

no aftermath
obviously not israel's tanks

>they lit a fire on the killdozer to make it look like it got hit
when are you going to post any aftermath?
this wounded the gunner, and it was a simple PG-22V.
this is what the aftermath of most HEAT hits look like.
>single stage HEAT
Pen any MBT from above
>tandem HEAT
Pen any MBT from the sides, some from the front.

Still useful for many other purposes though.
