I don’t know where to begin. You either don’t understand the subject or just can’t be bothered to learn. It’s difficult to tell.
Abrams DOES indeed have a sensor on the ammunition door for a fact. 2 sensors - one on each ‘edge’ of the door - both to protect the crew when the door is opening and closing. Leo 2 similar story. Abrams also has a loader switch that has to be enacted upwards before the gun is fired. Other Western types usually have a guard that is interlocked with the firing cycle so in theory the loader isn’t in the way of the gun breech.
You’d know this if you read a book on the subject. Or even did a 30s google. Do you have access to google in your neck of the woods or is it just Party Pamphlets?
The cartridge tray isn’t a metal guard. IT IS THE TRAY WHERE THE CARTRIDGE GOES!
You’ve circled the front of the turret (you can see the guy’s foot) rather that the ammunition carousel.
Actually, I can’t be bothered with you. You probably do think the moon is made of cheese…
By the way - the autoloader design does indeed have everything to do with the flying turret escapades. Ever wonder why most Western designs with autoloaders expressly avoid having their ammunition in a carousel under the turret ring - instead putting the ammunition in a bustle, etc?
I’ll give you a clue.
It keeps the charges AWAY from the fighting compartment.
Once again I have to quote RedEffect, in his video debunking myths about the T72, THERE IS NO CASE OF AN AUTOLOADER THAT HAS MULTILATED ITS CREW, damn Luque, can’t you manage a single topic without posting a lie in the middle?
I think when it comes to unbiased info on Soviet tanks - Red Effect is in the same category as Basil Brush, Lazerpig and some random guy in the pub. I wouldn’t put too much store into their takes on AFVs…
Well okay - that’s not quite fair. Basil Brush always struck me as misunderstood.
Who here was talking about Javelin? I’m talking about autoloader. If you think RedEffect is a propagandist, why don’t you prove it? Send a link or something that proves they have a bias, something I’m sure you won’t do because there’s no way to prove it.
