Strv-103 vs MBT-70 | 105mm Slpprj m/66 APDS vs Spaced Armour | L52 Armour Piercing Simulation

The MBT-70 was an advanced prototype main battle tank, developed during the 1960s between America and West Germany. Later that decade, the Swedish Strv103 entered service. The simulation shows what would happen if a Slppjr m/66 APDS round impacted the upper plate of the MBT-70 from 800m away. The MBT-70's spaced armour was intended to protect against "105mm APDS from 800m" but it is likely this referred to L28 APDS (and its equivalents) as it was the standard APDS round for the US and West Germany at the beginning of the project. L28 featured a tungsten carbide core, which is susceptible to shattering against spaced armour. Slppjr m/66 was the Swedish designation of L52 APDS, which featured a tungsten alloy core and only entered production in the mid-60's, . This made it a lot tougher than L28, making spaced armour substantially less effective against it. For reference, L52 (Slppjr m/66) can penetrate just over 130mm RHA @60° at this range. There is varying information on the MBT-70's armour composition, thickness, and angle, with the simulated layout following the more commonly stated parameters. Its interesting that the 38mm HHA - 127mm gap was used on the Leopard 2K as well. Amazing thumbnail artwork from: Warthunder
