The APFSDS is basically a giant arrow ( I believe it is made either of tungsten or depleted uranium with my money being on DU because it is self sharpening) with stabilizing fins in the end. The whole arrow is encased in the discarding sabot that serves as a spacer to keep the actual projectile straight in the barrel of the cannon. When the arrow encased in the discarding sabots exit the barrel the sabots will peel off letting the projectile fly on its own. The arrow itself has no explosive, it simply flies fast and is harder than the armor so it pierces it. APFSDS stands for Armor Piercing, Fin Stabilized, Discarding Sabot
i doubt it was 240mm because thats battleship size, the largest cannon ever fitter to a tank is the 183mm gun mounted onto a centurion mk ii hull designated as fv4005. this gun fired a 183mm hesh shell and testing showed its capacity to destroy the right side of a conqueror
I have to clarify this, spaced armor does not help against heat projectiles and in most cases will actually help by increasing the penetration. The British (if i remember correctly) tested this, with most heat projectiles at the time (around ww2) you would need about 10 feet (or meters, I can't remember right now) of separation between metal plates to protect against heat projectiles, and it only gets worse with modern stuff which can sometimes under right circumstances penetrate 1000mm of armor (1 meter)
Due to the way heat projectiles work, the more space there is to gain speed the more the jet of molten metal will penetrate, basically heat works like a normal projectile. It gets propelled forward by a explosion and the more space that it gets to get propelled the faster it goes but when it gets too far and there is less gasses than needed to win against drag it starts to slow down
The engineering involved with today's explosive ammunition is mind blowing. This sequence of actions has to happen with such precise timing, it's almost unfathomable.
The HEAT round also generates a MASSIVE change in pressure within enclosed armored vehicles, since the armor is designed to resist warping and retain shape against outside forces, the pressure essentially turns the inside of the vehicle or enclosed armored space it’s fired at into a blender for a split second. Their shelter becomes their tomb. Spaced armor works by slowing the round and giving a pocket of air for that pressure to diffuse into, rather than the main cabin.
@@belgianfried It's all fun & games until a drone or something else impervious to standards goes underneath, etc. and flips that statement on your head.
There's actually a lot of evidence that spaced armor doesn't really work for a lot of modern HEAT rounds. The effectiveness of the jet is usually so long that to achieve effective stand-off, you'd need like 6' of armor for some rounds. ERA is usually considered the best option. Or those new countermeasure systems.
6' is 152.4 mm. Pretty goddamn short, and regularly used in spaced armours. I can't believe how many people like yapping about shaped charges with the most uselessly wrong information ever…

The High Explosive Squash Head (HESH) rounds use a surface explosion to create spalling (no hot molten jet). The High Explosive Anti Tank (HEAT) rounds use a shaped charge with the molten copper jet.
Spaced armor doesn't defeat HEAT projectiles (the standoff distance needed to reduce penetration is multiple meters wide for most common warheads today). It's pretty rare and usually done to offer better protection from high caliber machine guns or even autocannons by reducing the penetrating power of the round with the first layer by making it tumble and go slower.
That's why they build armor like wafer layers, solid material-space- solid material or solid-texolite(soft things etc)-solid. You can check armor penetration simulations on youtube to see how they work or fail, ı love these videos❤
@@TheCommentor-fe9el what I think you're talking about is spaced armor, what he is talking about is spall liner, it a protection layer that catches spall after shell penetrates

@@bakaneee I ment the shells are poorly modelled because they always do the same amount of damage, no matter where they penetrated the armor.But you are right about the rest.
Spaced armour and ERA may disrupt the armour shattering shockwave of a HESH round but it can still be devastating. The exterior armour plate has to be thick enough to prevent the HESH round physically punching through the armour before deforming and detonating. HESH shells may not be armour piercing but they still have substantial mass behind them. The shockwave would also likely travel along any spaced armour, potentially tearing it if it is thin enough. Even if the vehicle doesn't experience any scabbing from the blast, the spund would defeaning and the crew would still definitely feel the blast.
The description of HEAT is almost accurate. HEAT works by concentrating blast into a needle like point. This system requires standoff from the target, which is why warheads like this are usually hollow on the tip. What you’re describing as HEAT is rather an explosively formed penetrator, metal being deformed into a penetrator. The British NLAW works in this manner, while the RPG 7 works in the former. Both systems have been used extensively as far back as WW2 but were once closely guarded secrets. The Nazis had HEAT first and used charges against the French Maginot line, however it was the Soviet Union that most extensively adopted the munition, in the form of RPG7s. It’s also worth noting modern tank armors are insanely effective at protecting from HEAT, reducing efficiency by 80% or more, while EFPs are still very effective.
If I remember correctly, kinetic energy penetrators work really well at defeating ERA and Spaced Armor. When defeating enemy armor, you need to have a good understanding of their countermeasures and be able to use the right tool for the job. There's also Active and Passive protective systems that have defensive uses, but much of that technology, when I studied it, was classified.
put the esh round in front of the heat round once the heat round goes off it goes threw the first layer of armor this should trigger the heat round to go off and threw into the tank and kill ever thing in the tank or combine the esh round into a shaped charged to one round but the esh goes off first then the shape charge.
That is basically how Tandem round work. Just switch the HESH for two HEAT. That way if the enemy dont have the reactive armor its still going to work fine. But the downside of Tandem is its heavy so you need to aim higher to hit target far away and it have a lower velocity.
APFSDS -Armour Piercing Fin Stabilised Discarding Sabot will penetrate & creat shock waves & at the same time damage & mall function the systems. 105 mm, Tungsten 120& 125 mm are Steel versions.All are projectiles.

Hi! I'm new to your channel and rly like and appreciate your work. Just have a small request. Could you also translate measurement data in the metric system. Not everyone is American you know 😅. Not in this video. I'm just commenting here because it's the most recent one.
Select tank Cannon rounds and missiles have what's called second stage shape charges or that's what I think they're called basically the idea is you have a shape charge in front of the main sheet charge that blows through the space armor and then the main shape charge blows through the under layer of armor
First example is SPALL. The projectile doesnt make it through but the force breaks the integrity of the armor thus sending "spall/shrapnel" from the armor within the tank to break away with almost as much force as the round that impacted. Those copper rounds used to be piped in a fixed position like within a dirt mound, tree, parked car and could be remote/timer/infared laser/mcguivered triggerez,insurgency fighting a whole new level.
Great animations! Small detail: the HEAT round does not keep its shape. The shelll explodes like any other, but the shape of the explosive focusses the metal disk.
The Spike on a HEAT Round is alloy, providing a strike-puff of light to indicate the hit...& it crumples...the Charge then disintergrates the spike as it powers into the armour..
Most simple explanation I can give you? Grab a handful of water, enclose it with your hands and squeeze the water out through a little hole. The thin jet of water is the penetrator jet of a shaped charge. Your hands are the explosives. It's very crude, but it works. Explosives compress the liner into one point, where (thanks to liner angle facing forwards) it shoots forward at high speeds and low temperatures.
To counter spaced armor and ERA the HEAT shells can be equiped with double Charges, MANPADS, Rocket launchers, Anti Tank Missiles, and some HEAT-FS shells
Fun fact just learned this, most spaced armor from ww2 was just to counter tanks having weak side armor and getting pend from at rifles, heat shells work better actually with more space
Spalling isn’t just hot metal jets. It’s the interior of the tanks just breaking and bouncing around. That’s why Hesh are also still extremely dangerous
Friendly pedant here, it's not spall when it's HEAT rounds working as intended, spalling happens when a standard AP round almost pens and the interior armor flakes and peels away at high speeds, with obvious implications to stowed ammo.
HESH (High Explosive Squash Head) can cause the effect that you describe, but it may need dozens to hundreds of rounds to cause the effect. It is not a particularly effective anti tank round. The number of HESH rounds needed to cause the effect depends on several HESH charges landing in the same area, and the quality of the armor. Thin armor may just collapse under the stress.
Thats why in the game enlisted, driving a pz4 with thin walls is difficult to destroy with a typical anti tank rocket compared to one without the protection. Some soviet tanks use fencing.
Explosive reactive armor is literal definition of "Murica!!!" I want to know how that conversation went. "How are we going to stop HEAT tounds?" "Lets strap explosives to the outside of our tanks. Thatll work" 😂😂😂
Yeah, I'm imagining a King tiger/Tiger ll having space armor and having Explosive Reactive Armor(ERA), thanks for using the tiger ll, one of my favorite WW2 tanks

Most simple explanation I can give you? Grab a handful of water, enclose it with your hands and squeeze the water out through a little hole.
The thin jet of water is the penetrator jet of a shaped charge.
Your hands are the explosives.
It's very crude, but it works. Explosives compress the liner into one point, where (thanks to liner angle facing forwards) it shoots forward at high speeds and low temperatures.

Fun fact just learned this, most spaced armor from ww2 was just to counter tanks having weak side armor and getting pend from at rifles, heat shells work better actually with more space
And thats why drones are better at slow moving targets
discs are used to accomplish the Misnay-Schardin effect. However, no liner is needed for a shaped charge to cut.

In German we call this HESH projectile “Quetschkopfgranate”. In German, things sometimes sound funnier than they really are.
Ahhh how I miss my life of launching heat and sabot
The copper liner shoots out as a high speed PROJECTILE. HEAT is a kinetic projectile.
HESH (High Explosive Squash Head) can cause the effect that you describe, but it may need dozens to hundreds of rounds to cause the effect. It is not a particularly effective anti tank round. The number of HESH rounds needed to cause the effect depends on several HESH charges landing in the same area, and the quality of the armor. Thin armor may just collapse under the stress.
Bravo iyi düşünülmüş,,
Thats why in the game enlisted, driving a pz4 with thin walls is difficult to destroy with a typical anti tank rocket compared to one without the protection. Some soviet tanks use fencing.
Ce qui est fascinant c’est la vitesse à la quel l’inflammation permet une pénétration en quelques millisecondes après la percutions
Explosive reactive armor is literal definition of "Murica!!!"
I want to know how that conversation went.
"How are we going to stop HEAT tounds?"
"Lets strap explosives to the outside of our tanks. Thatll work" 😂😂😂
ERA was invented by the Aussies
We on that 🅱️ESH 🔥🔥🔥

How APBC work next?
Throw a rock at another rock lmao. That's it
Thanks needed for my EDC Tank
Spaced armor can in some cases make the HEAT more effective.
Thats only if it breaks through both plates.
War thunder could never wrap their heads around these concepts
Yeah, I'm imagining a King tiger/Tiger ll having space armor and having Explosive Reactive Armor(ERA), thanks for using the tiger ll, one of my favorite WW2 tanks
