Most of the MBT fire APFSDS on smoothbore barrels because the rifled could decrease the velocity. But if need to fire at rifled, the APFSDS rounds had to fit a spinning ring to preserve the velocity for the projectiles.

Another countermeasure is seen on the Turret front of the Leopard 2 since the A5 model. Armor spaced away from the main armor at a distance longer than the Darts fired will induce tumbling of the dart after it has fully cleared the spaced armor. Makes it hit the main armor sideways completely neutralizing it in best case scenarios but reduces Armor penetration significantly in general.
The arrowhead damages the round before impact of the main armor. That’s why it’s effective. The space doesn’t need to be longer than the dart, it only needs to be angled. The wedges can be countered with a round strong enough to resist shearing forces.

And as someone who spent a lot of years not only learning French but living WITH French people, yeah, the “-ot” is isn’t pronounced either with a T or an H consonant sound.
I'm french and there is no "y" nor "h". As for the correct prononciation it's [sa.bo], with the french "a" [a] not the english "a" [ei]. We do not pronounce the final "t" either, because it follows a vowel. French is complex I'll give you that
Imagine getting shot with one of these in the chest while you are chilling in your tank Its a strange wait to die by a think that goes 5 time the speed of sound
The thing is, everyone here is wrong. Most armour piercing rounds are designed to cause shrapneling inside the tank. The actual rod usually isn't the thing doing the main damage, but the shrapnel that falls off the armour when the armour is penetrated. If you are in the way of all that glowing hot metal shrapnel, it'll probably have an impact of a huge shotgun blast.
I refuse to believe that the naming process was not just someone who just mashed his keyboard and some other guy somehow managed to make an acronym out of it
I didn't realize these things were examples of telescoped ammunition in accepted use. Militaries have been experimenting with telescoped small arms ammo for a long time but haven't been able to get it good enough for adoption - I had thought the concept as a whole just had flaws that hadn't been worked out yet and didn't know the big boys with smooth bores have been using them for a long time.
@@BryanPlaysAlot Perhaps. The only way to prove the total capability of armor and weapons is to have combat, but currently, we aren't having much of that.
Error in first seconds already: APFSDS rounds are not limited to smoothbore cannons. They are effecively used from many rifled cannons and autocannons.
Explosive reactive armor is used to protect against HEAT rounds, by preventing the penetrating jet from forming. It has absolutely no effect on a sabot round, which will simply pass right through ERA without detonating it.
No, No, The ERA effects both APFSDS and HEAT rounds. cause as soon as something hit ERA it explodes and send a plate outwards which either ruins the angle of a HEAT round which results in lesser penetration or for APFSDS it discombobulate APFSDS by ruining the angle of approach, so instead of nose of APFSDS hitting the armor, the side of APFSDS hits the armor resulting in lesser penetration. so, if the ERA is angled the more damage it prevents.
@@alimplays334 even then ERA is mostly for HEAT, the penetration reduction is too insignificant to also work against APFSDS sure it may work on better on older rounds but i dont think they give troops such old rounds that literally degrade pen like a quarter
@Terry McConville Leo C1s I’m guessing? Wouldn’t be surprised if APFSDS-DU rounds were made for the L7 105mm guns, they are still quite potent even today.
I’d like to see a theoretical breakdown of just how much metal is injected to the interior of the armored vehicle, and its typical effect on the crew and equipment inside. I’ve read somewhere that to remove the crews’ remains involves a large water hose and somewhere to drain out the material.
That depends on what hit the tank. There is a good book by Lt. Belton Y Cooper, tasked with "recovery, repair, and maintenance" of American WWII tanks back into service in the ETO. While some of the book is of debate, there is no question that sometimes it was a messy job cleaning out tank crew's remains. The book is a very interesting one: Death Traps: The Survival of an American Armored Division in World War II. Thanks for your comment.
Military History in a Minute Beltin Cooper has no first hand experience on what’s bad about the Sherman’s as his assumptions on the Sherman being a bad tank were largely disproven at this point by sources and people with first hand experience and historians. Death trap ain’t a way to put the Sherman either, it’s quite the opposite
@@H1MIN Cooper's book has been thoroughly debunked. He never bothered to ask a tank crewman why the knocked out tanks burned. They burned because all tank crews are taught that an enemy tank isn't dead until it starts burning. So you keep shooting at it until it's on fire.
when an APFSDS hit and penetrate the tank, there is no time for poisoning the crew, only up to 7000*C temperature for less than second inside tank also high pressure air which fraction bones and internal organs of crew blow up, also fragments from the rood also from cracked plate of tank hull will penetrate the body of crew, then another explosion of ammunition cartridges in the tank which is result of fragments which hit and penetrate the ammo cartridges full with explosive and initiate to burn such explosive inside the tank hull, and for next 5 seconds such high temperature will bake the crew body's, then some more explosions in row which come from exploding tank shells (HE or HEAT) which explode like result of high temperature inside the tank, which results on total collapse of the tank and everything inside. Literally the tank inside will melt. Terrible death... You can see fragments inside tank hit by APFSDS. Imagine if the tank was full of ammunition and crew... ruclips.net/video/KU0_9ika42o/видео.html
When I was an LAV crewman in the marines, we learned about the APFSDS-T (Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot with Tracer) rounds for the M242 25mm bushmaster chaingun that our LAV-25's used. The projectiles are depleted uranium, and supposedly their effective range was 4+ kilometers. Thing is, though, the cost per round is so high that they don't even issue those rounds anymore... But supposedly they exist.
@@christophegroulx8187 I've also talked with guys from oif1 who say that ammo type was found to degrade the integrity of the barrel due to the propellant being more explosive than what the gun was originally designed for. Again though, I've never fired APFSDS-T so I can't speak from experience.
APFSDS round was the evolved predecessor ammunition call APDS (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot). It's gives the projectiles more stabilised and increase penetrate effect. But the core materials of the projectiles can have different effects during penetrate. While Tungston core is the main material for the APFSDS core in most of the countries, the US use Depleted Uranium as the main material for the APFSDS core to maximise the penetrate effects.
They use DU because its cheap as it is a waste product from the enriching process for nuclear reactor fuel and they haven't got many major qualms with using a heavy metal that is toxic if it enters the body and has low radioactivity. Tungsten on the other hand is needed in industrial processes such as machining.
@@CrazyDutchguys You're right. Most of the WW2 tanks are pure steel Armor. Which why HESH, HEAT-FS can easily defeat old WW2 tank but modern is different issues.
russian ERA have an effect against kinetic penetrators as inside the brick there is an angled plate which when the explosive set off is pushed out and due to the fact that it's angled it goes to "snap" the penetrator causing it to lose penetration... it can theoretically decrease the penetration up to 30% but realistically around 15%.

a small addition. There are/were APFSDS shells modified for use in rifled barrles (basically a ring that would turn around the round freely so next to no rotation was given to the projectile.
Why is everyone dicking around and making fun of him saying it pronounced "saboh" not "sabat". It irritates me. Like its just a word, not a big deal Anyway, great videos bro!, its simple but easy to understand.
Actually - the reason it isn't cleaned up is because the actual environmental/human hazards of the stuff means that it isn't worth the bother. The 'dangers' of staballoy (the trade name for the material) are hype made by people who don't have the first clue as to what they're talking about. And too lazy to even look up the MSDS. In an industrial setting the recommended safety procedures are: "Standard industrial hygiene measures." (Wash your hands before eating - for example.) It's primary effect on the human body is that of a heavy metal poison with effects similar to that of lead. Although it is much less dangerous than lead because the body does not easily absorb it when inhaled or eaten, and it literally passes through your digestive track and leaves your body when you take a dump.
@@rospincasocl3741 "That stuff is cancer. Literally." No. It isn't. The primary organ it will affect is your kidneys because it's human hazard effects are almost identical to that of lead. Clue for the clueless: It's called 'Depleted Uranium' because the radioactive isotopes have been removed to make bombs or fuel for nuclear reactors.
Yeah, DU isn't as bad as people make it out to be. the two ways in which it is deemed harmful is A) upon penetration, when the penetrator can shatter into dust which can then be breathed in and B) when Shells which have been shot into the ground corrode, though the consequences of that happening are negligible to unclear. Also keep in mind that in point A), Tungsten becomes just as harmful. DU wouldn't be used by at least 3 Major Nato countries if it were that obviously harmful.

When you can't think of any usernames, so you just smash the keyboard and APFSDS is now your username
We can defeated maus with this shell
Maus's armour was already redundant in the late 50s when HEATFS came about
@@CrazyDutchguys You're right.
Most of the WW2 tanks are pure steel Armor. Which why HESH, HEAT-FS can easily defeat old WW2 tank but modern is different issues.
I feel like someone just said "screw it" and just slammed their face on the keyboard for naming this ammunition
spaced armor also weakens the penetration potential of apfsds by a lot
I am sorry but I learn more from this video than I did in the military.
Pronounced saybow
So that's how they work! Seemingly, no matter how hard or thick armor is made, someone will find a way to penetrate it.
ERA does nothing to kinetic penetrators.
russian ERA have an effect against kinetic penetrators as inside the brick there is an angled plate which when the explosive set off is pushed out and due to the fact that it's angled it goes to "snap" the penetrator causing it to lose penetration... it can theoretically decrease the penetration up to 30% but realistically around 15%.
Relikt ERA can reduces APFSDS penetration up to 50%
Oh yeah I forgot about that.
Necronuclear that's simple bullshit... best reduction scenario reach 20-25% K-5 10-15%
BlackSkorpion1991 There is Relikt ERA. It's third gen ERA. It claimed that Relikt can reduce kinetic ammo up to 50%
I watch this video at least once a week
The extreme form of a darts game, only everyone is the target and the dart won’t poke your eyes out (because it takes your face off instead)
It's not a shell. Shells explode. It is a shot. A solid projectile. Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabot Fin-Stabilized Shot.
Summary for that short video, it can pen alot
Yup when I was a tanker I used these shells in M1A2 abhrams
*History tends to repeat itself*
the propellant fits in a way reminiscent of caseless ammunition
I can’t help but think that the sabot can have a better design for inside the barrel to improve its velocity
A great example of how less is more.
why doesn't this channel become popular ?
Forbidden darts game
Rotational spin on a long body decreases stability, hence the fins
can't wait till they release the

I'm so excited
The first thing I saw was HELPME in there
a small addition. There are/were APFSDS shells modified for use in rifled barrles (basically a ring that would turn around the round freely so next to no rotation was given to the projectile.
Cant wait for NSH (Nuclear squash head) to be released.
"I play war thunder I know all about this"
I love these videos and idk why
The most effective round against modern main battle tanks.
Why is everyone dicking around and making fun of him saying it pronounced "saboh" not "sabat". It irritates me. Like its just a word, not a big deal
Anyway, great videos bro!, its simple but easy to understand.
Nice vid. You just forgot about depleted.iranium is also pyroplastic and imposible to be cleaned from the environment after hits.
And every shot is a little bit of friendly fire. That stuff is cancer. Literally.
Actually - the reason it isn't cleaned up is because the actual environmental/human hazards of the stuff means that it isn't worth the bother. The 'dangers' of staballoy (the trade name for the material) are hype made by people who don't have the first clue as to what they're talking about. And too lazy to even look up the MSDS. In an industrial setting the recommended safety procedures are: "Standard industrial hygiene measures." (Wash your hands before eating - for example.)
It's primary effect on the human body is that of a heavy metal poison with effects similar to that of lead. Although it is much less dangerous than lead because the body does not easily absorb it when inhaled or eaten, and it literally passes through your digestive track and leaves your body when you take a dump.
@@rospincasocl3741 "That stuff is cancer. Literally."
No. It isn't. The primary organ it will affect is your kidneys because it's human hazard effects are almost identical to that of lead.
Clue for the clueless: It's called 'Depleted Uranium' because the radioactive isotopes have been removed to make bombs or fuel for nuclear reactors.
Yeah, DU isn't as bad as people make it out to be. the two ways in which it is deemed harmful is A) upon penetration, when the penetrator can shatter into dust which can then be breathed in and B) when Shells which have been shot into the ground corrode, though the consequences of that happening are negligible to unclear. Also keep in mind that in point A), Tungsten becomes just as harmful. DU wouldn't be used by at least 3 Major Nato countries if it were that obviously harmful.
"A sabat a day, keeps the MBT's away."
Many videos explain about the round, but none of them explain how the hell the cartridge case just evaporated
What they dont tell you is when it comes out the other end, so does the crew.
watching this for War Thunder knowledge. Great vids!
I'm here for learning how to use various shells in War Thunder.
I'm trying to learning by experiencing. but it's just making me stressful.

Never say that again please... My eyes are melting out of my skull and my ears are bleeding.
