Damn, tho the tank looks pretty damn nice.
At least from the video I gather is a T-80U, pretty good choice to modernize. Very much mobile platform.
That would be at most a “dirty” Heat round. Creating an explosing with that limited material in the shell is not physical possible. You could create a chain reaction which would set free a very lethal dose of radiation and local heat but no explosion
Despite that it is still very unlikely germany was working on that because the Uranverein didn’t have the funding and the scientist had quarreles between each other. A normal engineer wouldn’t have access to uranium

Eurofighter fix, Spike and launcher overhaul.
Yep, it does look nice … T-80U was the most advanced T-80 variant (excluding the later Ukrainian T-84 progression) and naturally was expected to get more upgrades later (similar to how Ukrainian T-80UDs got upgraded to T-84s) … but Russia neglected the T-80Us & took a retro approach and ended up upgrading the older T-80BVs to BVMs. So weaker base armor but with better Relikt ERA vs stronger base armor but with older Kontakt-5 ERA. T-80BVM vs T-80U.
Anyway, hence this newest Ukr upgrade is kind of a redemption for the T-80Us (and for T-80U fans)
and to me kinda reminds me of a knock-off Obj.640 Black Eagle.
But that is truck mounted howitzer … not a turreted one, that is preferred in WT.
Well, in WT we have the original G6.
But not the later G6-52/G6-52-ER.
RoF: 8 RPM.
Also, there is alternate variant/upgrade of G6-52: RWG-52
Rheinmetall Wheeled Gun-52. A joint SA-German project. Made for India.
Uses the same G6 hull (OMC 6×6) but a new automated turret featuring Pzh 2000’s L/52 gun. RoF: 6 RPM.
Related to G6-52 is Bhim SPH. A joint SA-India project. Denel T6 turret on an Arjun hull.
T6 is a modified & automated G6 turret with L/52 cannon. RoF: 6 RPM
And if stretched, we can also include bigger boom distant cousin of G6: the Majnoon and Al-Fao.
(Although it’s a joint Iraqi-SA-Canadian-French-German-Spanish project, lol)
L/52 155mm Majnoon:
L/53 210mm Al-Fao (RoF: 5 RPM) :

The FV4211: The Chieftain Chobham.
A Chieftain MBT with a rudimentary Chobham set up applied developed some time in the 1970s when the Chobham armor was still top secret and in the testing phase.

i Got another Cheiftain based Beefy thing too.
The SST Goliath/Chimera.
A modern Heavy Assault gun that was designed in the 1980s, as a way to make use of the soon to be outdated Chieftain chassis. Fitted with the XL30 Cannon, which would later become the L30 mounted in the Challenger 2s.
Frontal protection was made up of over 700mm of Chobham armor on both the upper and lower plates, with 350mm on the upper sides. Weighing around 30tons, and fitted with the 750hp Leyland L60, the Tank was expected to be FAR faster and more agile than the Standard Chieftains that were closing in on 60 tons plus in their later variants. along with a lengthened chassis with a extra road wheel to compensate for the extra weight on the front from all the extra armor.
The Design also had a 50 caliber Remote weapon system proposed.
The whole idea of this proposal was to have a sort of… Heavy support tank, that would hold back and provide fire support to lighter units, while also providing a target for the enemy to focus fire on.

Interestingly, we do actually know how much Chobham the 4211 was fitted with, Along with a few of the other 1970s War Kit developments that were MADE for the Chieftains, but never saw Service as they were top secret Projects that basically No one even knew existed.
I was referring to mbts here I’m definitely keen for a LRF G6 with higher RoF

Well, that’s just wrong, FV4211 (Initially the programme was called Chieftain Mk.5/2 to try and hide the project) was a intended to be an interim MBT to bridge the gap between Chieftain and a future more advanced MBT, while reusing as many parts as possible and Chobham armour. The project started in 1969, produced a functioning prototype in '71, and was cancelled in '72 when the UK entered the FMBT programme with Germany.
FV4211 was a completely new design, the hull and turret was all Aluminium as a weight reduction measure to enable the L60 to have some hope of moving the thing, with Chobham providing the vast majority of protection. There is one surviving prototype which was fitted with Chobham and used for automotive trials, and now resides at Bovington. It was shown off to both the XM1 and Leo 2 teams and heavily influenced the development of both.
These are all proposals for FV4211’s Chobham layout, the 1st layout was eventually selected off the top of my head.
You go google Chobham armor Chieftain and that is the first result man, IDK what you want me to do.
Its still basically just a Chieftain with changes.
its the same size, same gun, same drivetrain, same everything.
Its still the bones of a Chieftain.
MOST places, even the TANK MUSEUM call it a Chieftain.

You literally called it a Chieftain upgrade, it’s not.
It’s the same sort of technologal leap between a Chieftain and a CR1
