 5500 max operational range, target on open field in great weather.

Aren't those supposed to have defensive measures against missiles?

 @white_male @Basades Kaiser @BroDrillard the "defensive" measure is the ammo is stored in such a way as to mitigate crew losses.  It explodes outward or some shit like that.

 tfw I wish I owned a NATO tank just so I could brag about taking this logic to the extreme by keeping the ammo stored safely outside the tank......in a u-haul trailer being dragged around behind the tank

 Wow, the same fuckers were laughing that Russians had decoy or ceramic inserts on some of their reactive armors.
