Leopard 1 VS T-10M | 105mm DM13 APDS Armour Penetration Simulation

This simulation shows the impact of a DM13 APDS with Tungsten Carbide core being fired from a German Leopard 1 tank at a range of 1.2km, targeting the front side of a Soviet T-10M turret at 1315m/s. Development of the Leopard 1 can be traced back to November 1956, when the operational requirement for a new battle tank was formulated by the Federal German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr). Originally a Franco-German project, the tank under design was named the 'Standard-Panzer'. The French later dropped out, however, and on 1 October 1963 the 'Standard' tank was officially named 'Leopard', an appropriate choice considering Germany's wartime pedigree with the formidable Tiger and Panther. In 1980 a research programme was undertaken to study further improvements to the Leopard 1 as a response to the modern soviet tanks T-64B, T-72B, and T-72M1. The aim being to maintain its survivability and combat effectiveness beyond the year 2000. After comparative trials, in December 1983 the Krup-Atlas Electronik (KAE) EMES 18 fire control system was selected in preference to AEG Telefunken EMES 17, and Carl Zeiss EMES 14A4. The EMES 18 fire control system was developed from the proven EMES 15 installed in the Leopard 2 and shares many common components. A crucial part of the Leopard 1 upgrade was the introduction of more effective main gun ammunition, specifically APFSDS rounds with advanced armour penetration material. This new ammunition was designated DM23 and DM33. Armour Configuration: 120-250 mm Cast homogeneous armour 26-60°
