It is distinguished by its high level of firepower, mobility and armour protection relative to other vehicles of its era.

It was thought in the late eighties that the protection level of the Future Soviet Tank ( FST ) could exceed 700 mm of rolled homogeneous armour equivalence at its maximum thickness, which was effectively immune against the contemporary M-829 armour piercing fin stabilized discarding sabot.

Today it is estimated that a tank gun will have to achieve muzzle energies on the level of 18 MJ — which is double the muzzle energy of current solid propellant tank propulsion systems — to be able to successfully perforate future enemy armour plating.

The following table shows the estimated protection level of different T-72 models in rolled homogeneous armour equivalency.

The introduction of more effective ceramic composite materials allows for a larger width of these metal layers within the armour shell: given a certain protection level provided by the composite matrix, it can be thinner.

It was determined by a study of a possible Chobham-armour protected MICV that a completely new design using only Chobham armour for the most vulnerable front and side sectors ( thus without an underlying steel main armour ) could be 10 % lighter for the same level of protection against KE-ammunition, but to limit costs it was decided to base the first design on the conventional Chieftain.

Vickers proposed an alternative the Valentine tank, which had the same gun and a similar level of armour protection but on a faster and cheaper chassis derived from that of their " heavy cruiser " tank.

The mantlet was, and combined with the turret armour behind, the protection level at that section was even higher.

This enables the twink to more easily farm for Honor Points ( The in game currency used to purchase weapons and armour for PvP combat ) in player versus player battlegrounds by permanently remaining at the highest playable level for their battleground bracket ( e. g. level 19 for the 15-19 battleground bracket, level 74 for the 70-74 battleground bracket, etc .).

In view of the experiences in the Yom Kippur War a much higher level of protection was demanded than was implemented in the prototypes, that used heavily sloped spaced armour.

In the latter case only the plate thickness ( the normal to the surface of the armour ) has to be pierced ; increasing the armour slope improves, for a given plate thickness, the armour's level of protection at the point of impact by increasing the thickness measured in the horizontal plane, the angle of attack of the projectile.

The most important is based on the fact that to attain a certain protection level a certain volume has to be enclosed by a certain mass of armour and that sloping may reduce the surface to volume ratio and thus allow for either a lesser relative mass for a given volume or more protection for a given weight.

Even though the increased protection to a point, provided by angling a certain armour plate with a given normal thickness causing an increased line-of-sight ( LOS ) thickness, is of no consideration in armour vehicle design, it is of great importance when determining the level of protection of a designed vehicle.

Rocket Arena aims to level the playing field by giving reincarnated players full health, weapons, and armour.

Spawn points, weapons, bags, armour, and objectives can then be placed anywhere on the level.

At a lower level of organization, infantry units commonly incorporate organic armour or artillery units to improve their combined arms capability.

An advantage of appliqué armour is the possibility to tailor the vehicle's protection level to a specific threat scenario.

For a given normal to the surface of the armour, its plate thickness, increasing armour slope improves the armour's level of protection by increasing the thickness measured on a horizontal plane, while for a given area density of the armour the protection can be either increased or reduced by other sloping effects, depending on the armour materials used and the qualities of the projectile hitting it.

It includes a raise in the county minimum wage, creation of several new jobs at the executive level, financing of beefed-up industrial development efforts, and increased expenditures for essential services such as health and welfare, fire protection, sanitation and road maintenance.

This will require about a 40 percent increase over the present level of protection.

APCs are fundamentally different from the previously used armoured half-tracks in that they offer a higher level of protection from artillery burst fragments, and greater mobility in more terrain types.

The level of protection also usually varies considerably throughout the individual vehicle too, depending on the role of the vehicle and the likely direction of attack.

5 ) Funding rangers to collect the above data in Kenya, enhance the degree of protection afforded to the eastern bongo and level of understanding of its ecological needs.

" Consequently, this structure for information gathering and decision making at both the national and Secretariat level is inherently biased in favor of trade over protection.

There are two levels of protection — all signatories must apply the lower level of protection to qualifying languages.

Signatories may further declare that a qualifying language or languages will benefit from the higher level of protection, which lists a range of actions from which states must agree to undertake at least 35.

Whatever strategy is used ( simple or mutual ), the level of protection strongly depends on the correctness of the implementation of the web browser and the server software and the actual cryptographic algorithms supported.

Combat applications in close-combat environments are likely to drive up survivability requirements necessitating the same protection level required by main battle tanks.

On a national level, this is controversial in many countries due to technical mistrust of the security of the escrow arrangement ( due to a long history of less than adequate protection of others ' information by assorted organizations, public and private, even when the information is held only under an affirmative legal obligation to protect it from unauthorized access ), and to a mistrust of the entire system even if it functions as designed.
