En frontträff med en sgr låter illa men slår inte ut vagnen. Däremot i taket gör det mer ont.
Åtminstone enl. mitt förmenande.

USA genomförde försök. Det fanns skillnader i amerikansk och sovjetisk uppfattning om artilleriets verkan mot pansar.

Test Results. The first test was conducted in 1988. Researchers confirmed that the US 155-mm HE round was a reasonable surrogate for the Soviet 152-mm HE round. An M109 155-mm howitzer battery using Soviet fire direction and gun procedures fired the test. The targets were manikins placed in fighting positions, US trucks, Ml 13 and M557 armored vehicles, and M-48 tanks. Several different computer models were used to predict results. The test was fired three times using 56 HE rounds with point-detonating (PD) and variable-time (VT) fuzes.

The resulting effects on the trucks and personnel were close to model predictions. However, the effects on the armored vehicles and tanks were significantly higher than model predictions.

The model predicted 30 percent damage to armored vehicles and tanks; however, 67 percent damage was achieved. Fragmentation from the HE rounds penetrated the armored vehicles, destroying critical components and injuring the manikin crews. (See an example of such damage in Figure 1.) In addition, the HE fragmentation damaged tracks, road wheels, and tank main gun sights and set one vehicle on fire.

Interestingly enough, none of the damage to the armored vehicles or tanks was the result of direct hits-all the damage was caused by near hits.

This test confirmed that US Army models did not accurately portray artillery effectiveness. Direct hits were not required to damage tanks and other armored targets.

Strix togs väl fram för att överhuvudtaget TRÄFFA pansarfordon.

När jag gick igenom lite gamla bilder från värnplikten hittade jag denna på mig med just en Strix-granat ("hårdmål" eller pansarsprängvinggranat 94). De var ganska långa jämfört med vanlig grk-granat.

Såg först nu den här tråden. Svårt är det säkert att träffa en pansarvagn med indirekt eld, men inget är omöjligt. Under vinterkriget sköt den finska armén ner ett fientligt flygplan med en 81 mm granat.
