The next series of drawings comes from a hypothetical question : what if the Tank Biathlon World Championship worked more like a mix of 'Girls und Panzer' and 'World of Tanks' ?
The main rule I imagined was that a participating country can only field a tank that they have built domestically or are using in their armed forces.
A micro-nation wants to take part, but doesn't have a tank and only access to an auto scrapyard and its associated workshop. The workers decide to create a multi-layer armour, taking inspiration from improvised efforts from WWII Britain ¹, 1980s Iraq ² and Hungarian youtubers ³...

L'article suivant donne un cheminement plausible pour le développement des modules d'armure du T-55 Enigma :
https://below-the-turret-ring.blogs.....fiction-1.html
"The Soviet Union developed a similar type of sandwich armor in the 1980s, which was first employed on the T-72B turret in 1985 and later also in the hull armor array in 1988/89. This armor consists of multiple sandwich plates consisting of a steel plate with a thickness of 21 mm, a 6 mm rubber layer and a thin 3 mm steel plate. The sandwich plates are spaced by 22 mm thanks to the use of steel spacers. When hit frontally, a penetrator has to travel through 4 to 5 of the sandwich plates in order to reach the crew compartment. Interestingly, this armor has been described at least once as "Soviet Chobham" from a Western author.
This armor was copied in a rather crude form by the Iraqi military engineers/tank designers for the local upgrade of the T-55, which has been designated "T-55 Enigma" by NATO sources. This armor was probably based on the T-72M1M (initial export version of the T-72B), of which a few ended in the hands of the Iraqi despite the international embargo. "

Pour compléter, je viens de trouver une série de vidéos présentant des simulations numériques de l'impact d'un projectile antichar contre différents types de blindage :
