120mm DM33 APFSDS (Leopard 2A4) vs T-72B with Kontakt-5 ERA - Simulation

This simulation demonstrates well how and why reactive armor excels at protecting vehicles against kinetic energy penetrators. Without ERA, the DM33 projectile was almost able to penetrate the whole armor, whereas with Kontakt-5, the black plate was barely reached. 120mm DM33 APFSDS (Leopard 2A4) vs 60-10-10-20-20-50mm armor (T-72B Upper Front Glacis): Sources: - - Tankograd T-72 - - �%... - #simulation #explicitdynamics #ansys #defence #APFSDS #ArmorPiercing
