GERMAN TANKERS LAUGHED at the T-34 — Until These Shells Turned Their Tigers into SCRAP METAL

Описание: They called the T-34 a "tin can"... then they found out the hard way what the Soviets were hiding inside. What Soviet secret weapon left small, clean holes in the 100mm armor of German Tiger tanks?

In the early years of the Eastern Front, German tankers felt safe. Their massive Tiger I tanks seemed invincible, their thick frontal armor easily deflecting the standard 76mm rounds fired by the Soviet T-34. The Wehrmacht mocked the Soviet workhorse.

But Soviet engineers had prepared a devastating answer: the Armour-Piercing Composite Rigid (APCR) shell, or BPS. This round was a high-velocity "needle" made of dense tungsten carbide. By jettisoning its casing immediately after firing, the APCR concentrated its massive kinetic energy into a small point, penetrating the legendary armor of the Tiger where conventional rounds failed.

This is the untold story of the technology that crushed German hubris:

The secret of the tungsten core and how it allowed older Soviet guns to defeat heavy German armor.

The critical role of the APCR in the decisive Battle of Kursk, where the myth of the "unbeatable" Tiger was shattered.

Why German tankers could not comprehend the "surgical" penetrations that were destroying their seemingly impregnable machines.

This video dives into how scientific genius and a piece of tungsten turned German arrogance into devastating defeat!
