Comparing the effectiveness of the most promising unique APFSDS designs against heavily sloped armour at 82°.
The designs tested are the simple monolithic, trailing telescopic, tapered segmented, and jacketed penetrators, with the target being 50 mm of RHA.
The kinetic energies have been matched between tests, but additional, more realistic velocity tests are shown for the 2 lighter projectiles.
