It makes little difference that those tanks look OK from the outside.
The heavier the armor, the stronger the effect. The inside of a tank
hit by such a penetrator is dust and red mush.

Ah, OK. I know that penetrators do a frenetic dance inside the cavity
they penetrate, bouncing around for quite awhile, destroying anything
they touch.

Look up "spalling"

I did, right after watching the movie "The Jackal". That was a
meanass little remote controlled toy, wot? The look on Jack Black's
face...

Indeed.

Anti-spall liners work...up to a point...after that...cringe.
