Which are small turrets on tanks shooting down incoming objects. They are also vulnerable to active protection systems or hardkill systems. Afterall the enemies tanks shell travels much faster and could destroy your tank before your missile reaches them. Together with the fact that many anti tank missiles have to be guided by the tanks gunner, it means to be sort of vulnerable in the whole process. The disadvantage of these missiles is their slow travelling speed. Thickness of WWII Panther 2 tank on the side: 40mm -> 1.6 inches 2 Modeling the Sword as a hardened steel shell core, it requires about 40e3 FT lbs/in2 of energy/diameter2 to penetrate.3 (A tank shell is definitely not the same as a sword, but somehow I couldn’t find scholarly articles about stabbing swords into tanks. About 8 - 12 km (5 - 8 miles) or even more compared to regular shells which have a range of max. However, due to the advantage of being further propelled in flight, they have a much greater range. Their penetration action largely works on the same principle has HEAT rounds and Tandem HEAT rounds. The further they fly, the more speed and therefor kinetic energy they loose due to air friction.īut because of their superior aerodynamic shape and high muzzle velocity, the penetration loss is not that much.Ĭertain tanks also have the option to fire anti tank missiles (ATM) or anti tank guided missiles (ATGM). The disadvantage of these shells is that they are not equally effective on all ranges. Modern tank armour tries with its angled armour plates to lead the penetrating shell on a disadvantageous path. These shells are very powerful against modern tanks and it is sort of difficult to protect against it.
