the metal a heat round jets into the cabin is made of the turret/hull it was in contact with. the liquid metal that bounces around inside is called spalling. Spall are fragments of a material that are broken off a larger solid body. It can be produced by a variety of mechanisms.
two different types of spalling effect, but the same thing overall.
I’m pretty sure neither type of attack would fail because of a few cm of brick - this is russian magic thinking. Am also nerd on internet, but prior service from an armor division. Tanks are some of the tastiest targets on a battlefield and advancements in RPG warhead designs were a constant source of discussion.
I kinda wish I could go back (the 49th AD doesn’t exist anymore but 1st Cav does) and hear what they’re thinking watching the battle damage analysis come through. Drones have changed the game so much.
