Was it debunked?
That I do not know, but one thing I can say for sure is that I wouldn’t trust that diagram

Would be better than having no reference at all
Gaijin has seen this before and already said they will not take Russian sources for the Abrams cause they can’t trust it.
but they’ll take indian sources to nerf nato 120mm HEAT-FS

🤷 They will choose what they want.

That makes no sense, I’d trust Russian sources more than what the department of defense would put out. DOD would definitely under value all the numbers as to not give other nations an idea of the capabilities. Russian sources would have no merit over-inflating the values
Maybe someone made this using the warthunder models 🫠

The stretch your trying to prove is, insane.
I’m not trying to prove anything, I said “If this is true”
It probably is partially, in the sense of everything that is unclassified is available.
Also, I lowkey think you’re misreading it a little bit.
Maybe, maybe not. Just using what dimensions are already there, kinda like how I reverse engineer irl but not a whole lot to go on. I’d love to see what the internal dimensions are. I could probably machine a small scale model lol
I believe Turret cheek armor thickness is red line to red line in the diagram.
Where “B” is is the frontal vortices of the port turret cheek.
Also, 4500 is your total turret length, this being in MM, so, 4.5 meters overall length.
You can use the front to the center of the turret ring of 3.55 meters to then subtract roughly 1.77/1.88 meters to get total turret ring radius, times 2 is your overall diameter.
Ring is 2150mm if you check the hull diagram, that looks correct
Actually you’re right about the 4500, I thought that was 4600, make sense why the lines were a tiny bit off

2150 is also simply the interior ring space, my calc on the (3.55-1.8) • 2 is the exterior diameter, then you can finally find your total ring depth.
That’s a very rough estimate however.
But then promptly model it incorrectly and ignore actual tech documents an photos 🤣
Indeed, but way higher than in game. I wonder what documents they got their initial values from since the side skirts and inner hull dimensions match the drawing dimensions
