Is the killing method of 9M119M1 through fragmentation?

So, does it use 48.3mm fragmentation to kill all my crew? Its metal jet never even entered my turret interior! I’m a newbie at this game. I don’t understand why this shell is so powerful against the front of the M1. Maybe Russia should stop producing 3BM60 and switch to producing 3OF26 and 9M119M1 instead—then they could destroy outdated NATO tanks on a certain battlefield…

It’s the HE in the warhead overpressuring your tank through its 5.83KG of explosives (A fuck ton). The penetration of the 5.83KG is 48.3mm radially, so if the HE manages to break through an interior plate that thin, it will wreck your crew.
