"In modern hand held AT weapons (PG-7VR, MBT-LAW, PzF-3T and IT600, probably in RPG-29) precursor is working in different way. As Panzerfaust-3IT developers wrote: „
The dual warhead has a small first charge and a main shaped charge. The first charge penetrates the reactive add-on armor on the combat vehicle without initiating the charge inside itto ensure it does not compromise or pre-vent the armor-piercing action of the main shaped charge."
"ERAWA-2 was tested against several tandem warhead (main warhead + precursor) AT weapons, but probably the most difficult test was against Pzf-3T and PzF-3IT600"

egyébként csak mondom, hogy a PZF3 szemből átlövi a T80U-t Kontak-5-el meg mindennel együtt....

"How effective is the PzF-3IT600 warhead? Some light has been shed on its potential in a presentation made public in South Korea, which is, by the way, most certainly Dynamit Nobel GmbH’s material. It includes a range of data on the performance of the weapon, along with information that it was designed to deal with T-80Us.....
"...the simplified drawings of a cleared armor as presented on the next slide leave no doubt – they show the exact structure of a
hull and a turret of the T-80U as manufactured since 1988 (!). So, how good was the armor? The equivalent thickness of the turret armor for the angle of 30° with respect to the longitudinal axis was up to 550 mm. For 0° – about 740 mm. On the right and left side of the turret there were two chambers for special armor – each about 260 mm wide. At the angle of 30° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the turret the special armor featured a 30 mm air gap, followed by two 40 mm layers of ceramics enclosed within 25 mm-thick steel plates, with a 50 mm-thick rear plate. The final element was a 50 mm-thick high-hard plate. According to estimates, the structure offered about 460 mm against kinetic energy penetrators and 550 mm against shaped charge ammunition. It is reasonable to mention here the range of resistance, which – assuming the positioning at an angle towards the rear of the turret head – would amount to up to 630 mm against kinetic energy penetrators and up to 750 shaped charge ammunition.
The entire structure is shielded with 4s22 Kontakt 5 ERA tile. R
ound is then able to overcome the armor of the turret and the hull of the tank in question head-on (!). And this holds true in the case of not only the T-80U (Object 219AS) but also the T-80UD (Object 478BE), the T-72B from 1989 (Object 184), and the T-90S (Object 188). It can be therefore acknowledged that thanks to the excellent shaped charge warhead..."
