Low velocity tank rounds are better suited for killing fortifications (you can pack more explosives into a shell as high velocity rounds need thicker casings for the stress of high speeds). Its less a 'we can't make a high speed shell' and more 'we want to balance our tank's ability to engage both fortifications AND other tanks', among other factors.
@madigorfkgoogle93497 жыл бұрын
the issue here is that he was talking about high velocity AP rounds. The fortifications are attacked with HE rounds not AP. Those high velocity AP rounds do not have casings, its a very simple "metal dart" not hollow charge full of explosives.

Later the determination was that the tank was the T-64.

If regular citizens could read about foreign military kit, there's little doubt specialists had access to Jane's publications and internally produced videos. The Soviets were somehow fascinated with the Israelis, the US-Israel military cooperation, that whole thing.

Yes. In fact the Soviets were planning to use tactical nukes from day one. That was the battle plan. This was revealed after the fall of the Soviet Union and the release of the Soviet files. They did not intend to use strategic nukes but for example they planned an amphibious flank invasion of Denmark to draw away NATO reserves. 500 tactical nukes were to be used in that battle alone. scary right? They calculated that The USA would not go Strategic nuclear over battlefield nuclear release.

All missile systems give away their position when fired to some extent. The sagger is completely typical. It isn't a weakness in any way. How fast can the arty respond? You need to have seen where the sagger launched from in the first place, and if you put a smokescreen between it and yourself, you can't exactly take a long hard look at where it came from. You also couldn't use your rangefinder in that case, again, because of the smoke. So you had to make a guess of where it is, find it on your map, and then contact artillery HQ to get them to put a few shots there. Assuming that they are just sitting there picking their noses, how long will they take to confirm the request, aim at their new target and fire? The Sagger takes 23 seconds to travel 3 km, so if you are within its engagement envelope, you have 23 seconds at best to do all of that. Plus, if you deploy a smokescreen, you broadcast your position to everyone, including helicopters. And when you deploy a smokescreen, you have to stay behind it, so you are a stationary target. What if the Rooskis decide to call artillery on your smokescreen?

Sorry, but I know several guys who could hit targets using the Malyutka (9M14, AT3) at ranges well under 500m. In fact, it is very dangerous to use it at long range because the missile is very slow.

Get a load of how shaggy the East Germans were. I just can't get over their big floppy hair. A totalitarian, goose stepping, funny helmeted German army with literally jackbooted officers - but a long way from high and tight.
