Bundeswehr ordered new shells for "Leopards"

Starting next year, the German crews tanks Leopard 2 will use new shells for firing. According to the press service of the company Rheinmetall, at the beginning of next year, the company will begin to supply the Bundeswehr with new DM98 tank shells.

Rheinmetall points out that DM98 projectiles are designed to replace outdated DM18 and provide improved accuracy even at target range fires. In addition, new ammunition is equipped with a tracer element, clearly visible in any light.

Ammo DM18

To date, the Bundeswehr has ordered 10 000 DM98 shells worth € 24,7 million. Ammunition supplies will begin in the first quarter of 2018. At the same time, Rheinmetall expects to receive additional orders, in particular, at the beginning of next year, the German Defense Ministry plans to purchase 3 200 training equipment.

DM98 shells (full name Cartridge 120mm x 570, DM98 TP-T) were developed by Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbH in 2015 year. The first customer of these munitions was Denmark. In addition, four countries already armed with Leopard 2 tanks have ordered deliveries of new training ammunition, reports "Warspot"

Have you even read the article? ................................. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, In Rheinmetall indicate that the DM98 shells are designed to replace the obsolete DM18 and provide improved accuracy even at extreme ranges of aimed fire ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ...... ..............

Decibels like you, until the 22 of June 41 of the year, shouted that Germany had no chance, because For most types of weapons, the Soviet Union was quantitatively ahead of Germany. The whole strategy of our country was aimed at the war on the territory of the enemy. What did it result in? In an unprecedented catastrophe for our country, which demographically still responds to us. So I would put such decibels, as well as alarmists with pants, next to the wall.

And we learned this lesson very well. And that is why our country now has priority not tanks and self-propelled guns, but cruise and ballistic missiles (well, of course, their carriers), that is, those types of weapons that will allow the enemy to be crushed before it rolls out of the hangar ...

The news is great. 10000 shells, chickens laugh. A serious war requires hundreds of thousands!

In a modern war, a super achievement will be if the tank manages to release at least half of the ammunition. The quantity ordered is quite enough, unless the Germans start selling this ammunition to Leopard holders around the world. In general, I think that Rheinmetall already realized that after receiving the T-14 new 125mm gun, which is 15% more powerful than their 120mm barrel, as well as the possible installation of a 14mm gun on the T-152, their current development becomes not relevant. They themselves recognize this by offering a new 130mm gun, but so far it can hardly be called a successful replacement. But the trend is there. So their new shell is a temporary measure. The problem of a new gun will be solved along with new shells for a new caliber.

- Ento does not mean that it will be visible from all angles and not armed eyes. it was often built in before and it didn’t bother anyone ... especially at the anti-tank systems.

[Vadim237]

There probably tracer buried.

[adma]

The tracer is needed to adjust the shooting. In my time, all shells had a tracer. And even the presence of a tracer did not always allow to detect the projectile trajectory. And especially the sub-caliber, which does not explode.

I didn’t understand something, I know that rheinmetal guns are famous for high ballistics, now they repeated something at 72 BZ, using the new “crowbar” it was lengthened and the gun and this led to changes in the carousel and automatic loader.

[bald]

Did you go too far with the tracer? Even visually, you can detect an approximate amount of equipment, the direction and where the fire is coming from. And the accuracy, specifically from the tank, is unlikely to be increased by a tracer (in motion).

This is not an article, this is news, which says only about the desire of the Bundeswehr to get new shells. But the performance characteristics of this shell and everything else should be reflected in the heading "weapons" if there is an author who writes about this. Do not confuse short news and article.

It is necessary to send him to Germany, so that he would get this new shell ... silt (obtained in general) and somewhere in the Orsk region (... and where else? ) brought. There we will analyze it (I guarantee my help in this matter ) and we’ll find out everything about the performance characteristics. And he will write an article. Noticed?
