Why Are the Leopard 2’s Turret Cheeks Hollow? Koala Explains: Spaced Versus Composite Armor January 19, 2020 Unipro2013main Military Technology </p> <h2>Spaced Versus Composite Armor</h2> <p> It has come to my attention that something in this video was a little over simplified – the wedges are not made simply of steel, but instead of two steel plates surround an inner rubber layer (very similar to the British “Stillbrew” armor). The aim of this composition however is the same – the plates and the effect of the rubber sandwiched between them will cause the rod’s trajectory to skew further, hence having the flat edge impact the underlying turret rather than the sharp point.<br /> <br /> Credit to : theScottishKoala</p> <p> Please support our Sponsors -
