Challenger 2 MBT - Technical data and Discussion (Part 1)

Here is my version


WE know 40mm for sure, what is inside the block is unknown, where NERA/ERA ends

Active block should be larger oops

I see what you mean don’t worry.

Blocks by themselfs cant be that heavy. So who is breaking into nearest base and steals one?

rafael sheet states it protects both chemical and kinetic projectiles. the images in the sheet show a truck sporting the ASPRO with no backing plate.

yea this would be my best guess as well.

And with that i think that only Active and Passive parts count into Stanag level of ASPRO, right? The plate should not take part in the stanagm or should it?

It was called Megatron for a reason.

i think they wanted to name it megaton but someone made a “mistake”

I wonder when the main issue of it being modelled as one big block will be rectified

When it gets worked on.

HUH

First there was no armour, best armour, now no source, best source

Yea, hope it continues

They also changer ENFORCER ammo count to 200 and reduced total from 1700 to 1600. The loss of a total ammo is not that bad, what im sad is they get normal 200 mags instead of extended 400, just like OES got extended 200 instead of normal 100

There’s no way this can be the case for ASPRO-HMT. It’s used across so many different vehicles, varying from MRAP to MBT and everything in between. The data sheet on ASPRO-HMT exclusively mentions the bricks performance, no mention of backing plates or vehicles.

I would trust it saying the ERA can do XYZ at face value rather than assuming that there was some special conditions involved to reach that STANAG requirement.
