so the longer rods with the weight of DU would mean that the KE would a great deal greater than the smaller rods you would get with a two piece round.

The majoriy of rounds for Russian guns start at 410mm

i hav a question here.
what is the most suitable anti tank round
is this the APFSDS or HEAT(Shaped Charge).

i think it depand upon the anti tank protection system installed over the tank.
so another question is
Does ERA plates is good for APFSDS or against HEAT

Sabot rounds are generally favoured against other MBTs whereas HEAT is for less well armoured vehicles.

Unreliable as it may be wikipedia has a good article on Russian Kontakt 5 ERA which is used on Pakistani T80s where it mentions when tested on a T72 it could shatter the rods on the main ammunition of M1 Abrams and German Leopard 2s.
