Quant à sa puissance de pénétration, elle devrait être égale à cinq à six fois le calibre - 50 à 60 cm - et donc suffire largement pour percer le blindage de n'importe quel char occidental (...) 1, record 1, French, - puissance%20de%20p%C3%A9n%C3%A9tration

Mais la définition du LRCA sera dominée par sa capacité de pénétration proprement dite. Or, seul un haut degré de discrétion radar, supérieur à ce que l'on peut escompter dans l'immédiat, peut rendre possible une pénétration à moyenne et haute altitude. 1, record 2, French, - capacit%C3%A9%20de%20p%C3%A9n%C3%A9tration
