Ask a Russian and you will be answered.

2x 400 (four-hundred) milimeter bulletproof glass, a dummy and a RPG-7. Fun ensues.

Wow. And that's just an RPG-7. Not an expensive weapon or highest-powered AT weapon at all.

Let's not forget that tanks also use:
- angled surfaces to deflect energy from impact
- additional plating / reactive plating outside of it's hull

Don't anger the forum gods.

They should try blasting it through that much transparent aluminum and see if it still gets through.
