The poor armor in question was the real German plates that the Russian gun was expected to face. keshavkrishnamurtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849761992325431823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-75117328331099835072014-02-07T20:09:27.951-05:002014-02-07T20:09:27.951-05:00Of course, I will include the link to the source f...Of course, I will include the link to the source from now on.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622237223229485503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-25995376966066448812014-02-07T11:14:17.246-05:002014-02-07T11:14:17.246-05:00I wish the Bolshevik Propaganda Ministry would hav...I wish the Bolshevik Propaganda Ministry would have gotten their stories straight. According to Russian tests the 45mm/L46 either penetrates 35mm or 30mm armor 80% of the time at 1500m So what kind of poor armor was being used in these gun penetration tests if the 45mm can only dent the 30mm ‘currently used by Red Army’ armor at 1500m?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-85110234281234718462014-02-07T03:48:05.742-05:002014-02-07T03:48:05.742-05:00How about direct link to source?

Also, with regards to the use of torsion bars - did the Panzer III's use of torsion bars have anything to do with the KV's use of torsion bars, or is that an unrelated development? Last question - did the Russians send any armored vehicles over in exchange for the Panzer III they received from the Germans?keshavkrishnamurtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849761992325431823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-92169454299596832012014-02-04T08:49:39.834-05:002014-02-04T08:49:39.834-05:00Standards were set by GABTU, testing was done by l...Standards were set by GABTU, testing was done by lots of people.

I have been reading about the Oboronka and the Yerzhovschina and the hell designers in the Stalin era could go through, but it seems like they were able to do a remarkably good job in spite of all that. keshavkrishnamurtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849761992325431823noreply@blogger.com
