Скачать или смотреть OBJECT 120 TARAN vs AMX-50 FOCH | 152mm APFSDS Armour Penetration Simulation

The simulation presents an approximation of the Object 120's APFSDS projectile impacting the upper glacis of the AMX-50 Foch tank destroyer, from ~1.5km.

The Object 120 was a prototype Soviet tank destroyer, fitted with a massive 152mm cannon. However, there is limited information available on the Object 120's APFSDS projectile, with only its max core diameter, in-flight weight, overall projectile length, muzzle velocity, and penetration available from a document posted in the community tab:    / @sysimulations  

Based on these details, other Soviet APFSDS designs of the era (3BM2, 3BM3, 3BM4), and the Lanz-Odermatt penetration calculator, the projectile has been approximated with a hardened steel penetrator and cap, with the penetrator being 550mm long, with a maximum diameter of 50mm (with an average diameter of 42mm). The overall projectile, including fins and caps, weighs 8kg and is 770mm long. The velocity drop has been approximated as 120m/s/km, based on similar APFSDS projectiles of the time.

The upper glacis of the Foch has been modelled as 250BHN Rolled Homogenous Armour (RHA).
