Armor-piercing projectiles with a large elongation core, unified with the M256 Abrams and Rh120 Leopard-2A4 guns, may appear on the front. In this regard, Russian engineers need to adapt the 125-mm 2A82-1 guns for T-14 "Armata" tanks to the modification of the main battle tank T-90M "Proryv-3", according to military expert Yevgeny Damantsev.
He noted that SHARD projectiles have an initial velocity of 1720 to 1734 m/s. The ammunition has an armor penetration of about 970 - 1050 mm, posing a serious threat to the frontal projections of the T-90M MBT.
Kinetic "Vacuum-1/2" projectiles have similar armor penetration, which, due to their large elongation, cannot be used from the charging chambers of the standard 2A46M-5 guns of the T-90M MBT.
The 2A82-1 gun is capable of firing both all existing 125-mm ammunition and new promising ones, including high-power armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot projectiles 3BM59 "Svinets-1" and 3BM60 "Svinets-2" with a length of 740 mm, as well as new ones specially designed for the T-14.
The gun does not have an ejection device to remove the powder gases formed during firing. The problem of gas contamination was solved by introducing more efficient innovative technologies.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Indian was interested in Russian radar "Voronezh-DM": they will detect ballistic missiles and even stealth fighters.
