New armor-piercing shells with a tungsten tip appeared in the combat zone in Ukraine.
In Russia, the projectile is called “3БМ60 “Свинец-2”.
The projectile corresponds to the 6th class of armor-piercing in the NATO classification.
This means that this armor-piercing projectile is capable of piercing up to 700 mm of homogeneous steel from 2 kilometers.
One hit is enough to penetrate the frontal armor of the German Leopard-2 tank and the export version of the Abrams, produced without uranium armor elements.
