Of the weight they do have for armor they use some of it for active systems, and more still for ERA which can be vulnerable to counter measures such as tandem charges.

The weight of dynamic protection of 1.5 tons "Kontakt-5" and 2.3 tons "Relict" is 3-5 % from weight of the tank. It is not enough!!!
Besides the given kinds of dynamic protection counteract action armour-piercing sub-calibre of a shell on greater distances (at speed less than 1300-1400 km/s) because protective plates of the device are executed from two various materials, an acoustic impedance of a material of the protective plate arranged first on course of the getting means of defeat, it is less (from an aluminium alloy), than an acoustic impedance of a material of the second protective plate (from constructional steel).
Dynamic protection of type «Relict» from 70 % probability counteracts tandem charges.
Jet protection is rather effective, for this reason you have decided it to use on new M1 (look a picture below)

It is a myth that from the front T series type tanks are small targets. While the T-90 does have about half a meter smaller profile, its long angled turret and hull faces actually create more surface area facing the enemy on a level plain.

Let's not name the facts - a myth.
T-90 and M1A2
(I shall notice, that from sides of tower T-90 there is a jet armour which "hangs" and behind which already there is no basis of a tower, i.e. it influences the area of a target, but is not the purpose of a shell (behind them it is empty))

The Russian's for thier part tacitly admit this, operational deployment of tanks now uses a reduced ammo load to help prevent the catastrophic flying frying pan that results when BAE results from a penetrating hit.
|
Not truly.
Reduction of loading of an ammunition is practice of use of the tank without lateral jet protection in Groznom in 95-96 years. Only in this case you can get in an ammunition load from RPG. Even if on the tank rubber "skirt" is established, this shot will not bring result.

They both also use tungsten alloys vs DU. Tungsten alloys are actually worse for the environment despite the claims about DU and they are not pyrophoric and self sharpening like DU.

You again have confused all
:
3BM32 3BM39 3BM48 3BM52 - uranium cores.
New means of protection on M1A2:
