Greetings, friends. Sorry, I'm posting in the wrong place! Are there any photos or the exact name of the 105mm APFSDS ammunition for the new tank? The only information online is that the muzzle velocity is 1740 m/s. Thank you! The ammunition was named for the ZTQ-15 DTW, but what should I do here? I need to create ammunition for the game, but there is no name or appearance, or is it too early to talk about it?

It's only the results from an experimental round. The actual round used is much, much heavier (over 9kg in projectile weight) and correspondingly the muzzle velocity is a lot lower, probably within the 1500-1550m/s range.

Is there any information on this? Or should I just use the same ammo as the ZTQ-15 while I'm in the game?
thanks for information!

A Chinese friend of mine told me that the penetration there can or does reach around 700 mm. I don’t know how accurate his data or beliefs are!

Data is still highly classified, all current understanding of the round is based on fragments of spent rounds in firing ranges. What we can know is that the perpetrator length is at least 830mm long, so I wouldn't be surprised if the round can reach m829a4 levels in penetration.
