This simulation shows the impact of the 120mm M829 APFSDS with a Depleted Uranium penetrator being fired from a US M1A1 Abrams tank at a range of 1.9km, targeting the turret of an upgraded Russian T-62 tank with two layers of Relikt ERA.
Relikt is the 3rd generation of Russian ERA, and is claimed to be twice as effective as Kontakt-5. It can be installed on T-72B and T-90 tanks and was adopted in 2006.
Depending on incoming projectile angle, Relikt increases armor protection up to 700mm RHA for APFSDS ammo and up to 1100 mm for HEAT projectiles. Its structure with two plates of plastic explosive successfully defeats tandem HEAT charges at any angle.
Although the M829 is quite old, it is still impressive how two layers of Relikt can save a turret from the 60s.
