If it were a fighter jet, it would be a thunderous roar. The armor-piercing bullet is too small, and the sonic boom it produces is sharper.
Clearly, Situ Lin issued the halt order after judging that the enemy's tank was about to fire.
If Tang Xuebing hadn't stopped the tank and continued to charge forward, it would definitely have been hit by that armor-piercing bullet!
Even though the "Leopard 2" DM33 armor-piercing bullet is not considered advanced, theoretically, it can penetrate up to 450 mm of homogeneous armor. The equivalent protective thickness of the turret and front hull of the ZT-99B is over 800 mm, which can withstand a direct hit from the DM33. However, even if not penetrated, being hit by an armor-piercing bullet can still damage the tank's electronic equipment and injure the crew members.
At the very least, it would temporarily lose combat effectiveness.
"Boom——"
