Ukraine needs both as Sabos are ineffective against BMPs and IFV

Because the Abrams isnt poorly designed Here's the rub, Russia's T-90s on down have the autoloader and ammo inside the turrent Hence when they get hit, the turrets go into orbit The Abrams ammo is located in armored boxes so even if the ammo is hit, the explosive force is directed through blow panels on the top and away from the crew Drones strikes are damaging but not as bad

@cowboyx9380 Are you an !#@! The SABO works by fragmentation When the round hits heavy armor ,its starts to fracture Once it penetrates through, it hits the other side of the tank and creates fragmentation where the superheated pieces of the SABO shred everything inside BMPs armor is no where as thick as a tank hence why HEAT rounds are used

@cowboyx9380 Sorry your time on Call of Duty doesnt count Sabots are not high high velocity needle Actually personnel who served would refer it as kinetic energy penetrator or KE round Lastly the term Cavalry does not solely refer to armor Cavalry covers a massive umbrella from aviation to to national guard units just one of those things

@MockinGlobes Hence why HEAT rounds are better against AFV / IFV With SABO, the gunner has to precisely aim at where they think will disable the AFV/IFV or where they think the crew is whereas aiming an HEAT round is much easier Then also consider that if you do mobility kill the AFV/IFV, it still may have enough back up power to a missile off The rationale for the AMP/XM1147 One round able to to replace HEAT, MPAT, CAN and OR rounds I would still keep the HEAT but definitely replace the MPAT, CAN and OR with AMP

@FerDzone205 Yes the drone destroyed the Abrams but compared to Russian tanks, the Abrams and other western tanks are in one piece not with their turrets in orbit

@aa-ron6718 The AMP isnt quite ready but given that USMC divested all their tanks and Army adsorbed all of USMC assets and ammo its most likely they have a massive surplus of 120mm rounds so Ukraine will likely get HEAT, plus a few others

@cowboyx9380 Again you claim cavalry however cavalry is not solely armor its covers a wide range of things their water boy

@semenovna8769 Thats kinda impossible as the USAF coined tank plinking in Iraq where USAF strike aircraft were shredding Iraqi tanks with 500lbs bombs

The tanks in Moscow is just's Putin's ego and propaganda Lets go by the numbers Russia has claimed 7 Abrams destroyed Yet they have lost over 100 T-90s models The Russian navy has lost one 1 cruiser and attack sub totaling to 1 billion The Russian air force has lost 60 KA-50. 11 Su-30SM, 26 Su-34 , 7 Su-35, 2 Tu-22M3 , 3 IL-22 and 2 A-50s The Russian army is losing S-300 and S-400 sites at steadily increasing rate These represent Russia's latest as well strategic assets Russia could win Ukraine tomorrow but the fact that in 3 years , Ukraine cost them this much of their latest as well strategic assets is beyond embarrassing Here's another fun fact, the US has sent Ukraine various Anti-jam measures for JDAMs and none has worked effectively so Ukraine is getting Home on Jam Seeker for the JDAM as well SDBs Without EW jamming GPS, Putin wont have time to parade war trophies

@Sunshrine2 yawn

@Alloy682 BMP's armor isnt thick enough to create spall Newer BMPs have thicker ERA armor but It makes more sense to preserve the sabo for tanks and use HEAT against everything else
1
@4T3hM4kr0n Thats 25mm , so it doesnt take much for it to spall
1
@4T3hM4kr0n The newer BMPs have ERA plates nothing thick enough for spall a from 120mm

@Optimusprime56241 cope harder

@4T3hM4kr0n Thats why HEAT so much simpler
