Very nice feature, Pat. excellent reference for the upcoming "knocked out" campaign.

Allow me to supplement with a couple of Pictures from Latrun tank museum in Israel. As I recall the pictures show the impact of Sagger AT missiles, but my hebrew is a little rusty

Thanks for sharing

Pat McGrath shares with us pictures of the results of Fire Power on armour from a Russian perspective.



It should be Finnish perspective as all the shots are from the anti tank section of the Parola Panzer Museum in Finland.

Bill sorry for the late reply as I said above these are from the Parola Tank museum. I didn't take a shot of my favourite exhibit however which was a birch log about two foot long. Yo use in an anti tank capacity you jam it in the tank threads and then shoot the crew when they come out to see what's jamming the tracks

the upper hit is the AT-missile, the lower is an AP ammunition - i think some kind of APFSDS
