This video shows the penetration simulation results of the T54 RHA armor when the 3BM-15 APFSDS hits it with the speed of 1785 m/s.
[ T-54 ]
From tanks-encyclopedia, The T-54 is a legend. It was used more extensively than any other Cold War or modern MBT to date. It was supplied to or produced by Warsaw Pact countries, forming the bulk of their forces during the 1960s-70s. Then it served with the allies in the Middle East (Egypt, Syria, Jordan) and numerous nations among the non-aligned and third world countries. A staggering 83,500 were produced, alongside the Polish and Czech versions (21,000 more). It was largely associated with colonial or independence wars all around the globe and is still one of the most common pieces of equipment of any armored force today. China copied the T-54 under the Type 59 designation and it was also largely distributed among Asiatic nations, notably North Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and North Korea.
[ 3BM-15 ]
Using a slightly longer projectile compared to the 3BM9, the 3BM15 round enhances penetration by having a tungsten-carbide slug embedded in the forward part of the projectile body, in turn protected by an armor-piercing cap. Proof against most NATO tanks until 1978, this round's shape and full caliber fins sap muzzle velocity and limit the 3BM15's effective range against its contemporaries to 1500m and below. Although removed from Soviet service in the mid-1970's, the 3BM15 remained the most advanced 125mm round available to client states until the end of the Soviet Union, and was produced under license - along with local derivatives - in several countries.
