This simulation shows the impact of the 125mm 3BM60 APFSDS with a Tungsten Alloy penetrator being fired from a Russian T-90A tank at a range of 1.2km, targeting the front hull of a Ukrainian T-64BM Bulat tank with Nozh (Knife) ERA.

The T-64BM Bulat is a heavily modified variant of the T-64B main battle tank. The main modifications to the T-64BM consist of the installation of a newer KBA-3 cannon to replace the 2A46M-1 cannon, a new autoloader with reduced motor diameter, the installation of the Nozh reactive armour package, a new commanders cupola, and a new set of gunners optics.

The broken pieces of the penetrator still possess significant kinetic energy but are also highly destabilized at the same time. In a real situation, a 3BM60 would cause significant damage to the composite armor, as some approximations were made here to reduce computational time, which took more than 90 hours.

One of the biggest issues the T-64B has is that it’s using a cast turret. This significantly limits the ability to alter the armour profile of the turret, or to upgrade it.
