    UAE to give Jordan 80 Leclerc tanks

    DM53 is gross exaggeration. As I said penetration is more or less equal to penetrator length and decreasing diameter is reducing penetration. DM53 is 12.5% longer than DM43 but in same time 5% slower and slightly less diameter. So overall should be very minor increase of penetration - about...
