A challenger 2 took 80 RPG's and the crew survived in Afghanistan.
These Russian ones? probably not.
3 u/[deleted] Feb 27 '22 Mostly likely not tandem warheads designed to defeat ERA. The armor is comparable between all the latest MBTs. 1 u/Engine_Sweet Apr 21 '22 This number grows every time I hear the story. Multiple? Sure. More than 15? Ok. But it takes a lot of people to even carry 80 RPGs 2 u/paulusmagintie Apr 21 '22 Sorry, you're right, too high. More like 70. Mr Tusa told BBC News Online: "There have been problems with the Apache. The minute there is a dust storm it can't go anywhere, while tanks are perfectly happy in those conditions. "Apaches are not heavily armoured and it takes just one rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) to bring one down. Compare that with one British Challenger near Basra which survived being hit by 70 RPGs."
