Considering the cartridge length of 255mm and the picture below, i’d say the projectile in it’s entirety is at least 220mm. No idea for the rod itself though.
I can’t really tell the angle for the plate on the right, nor if it was anywhere near the max pen the round could achieve, bit it seems to be around 70mm thick if we consider the cartridge diameter of 65mm
Edit : now that i think about it, i remember CTA marketting their “>140mm @ 1500m” everywhere, and a 70mm thick plate angled at 60° would be just that.
This armor plate could be the demonstration of that claim.
Well, the entire projectile is around the length of the cartridge (that’s the point of telescopic), but the penetrator itself is shorter, since you have the fins, the tip… We found information on the ratio between the penetrator length and diameter, that’s how we inferred the penetrator’s length.
Awesome vehicle, I would love to see this at the top of the ATGM light tank line, especially before or after the EBRC Jaguar cause France needs more top-tier light tanks/IFVs!
finally got around to updating this suggestion, edited the last image and changed the title to signify that we’re looking at the late version of this vehicle. I believe the image and title should now all correspond with one another
2 wheeled foreign hulls, one Swedish project, 1 American project, and the last one could arguably go as much to the US and France as the British, seeing their involment of the turret upgrade on the warrior. Only 2 of your proposals are 100% British, and neither of them are nearly close to being as good as even the AJAX, which as stated previously, isn’t the greatest British MoD investment by a lot.
Currently no French vehicles have been equipped with any APS, as France does not have a domestic variant yet and aren’t buying from external suppliers. They are however developing and planning to introduce their own APS in the future for all ground armored vehicles (tanks, VCIs, tanks even armored cars), apparently starting 2026, but there has been very few informations on it recently apart from a successful test last year.
