Poland just signed contract with MBDA for license production of Brimstone ATGM for new 4x4 tank destroyer. https://newsroom.mbda-systems.com/pgz-mbda-uk-agreement-for-tank-destroyers/ Vehicle configuration will probably look like this graphic: However it will use new chassis codeveloped by HSW and Tatra. Here some graphics of Tatra/HSW 4x4. Ex-Polish T-72M1R's upgraded with ERA. in Ukrainian service.

Seen a test of several dozen kg vs M48. The turret crew would have been dead...as the turret then rested 50m from the tank. But the driver has pretty good chances of survival, the only thing applied to the driver station was the sudden acceleration of the whole vehicle upwards

Yes that's because most military TI systems can't detect heat through glass. The glass forms a barrier so the TI reports nothing. Yet another reason to alternate between using the TI and the day sight.

...and what do basicly all MBT since the 1980(latest) have? Several layers of armour who will deform against each other. basicly any shockwafe runs itself dead...

How do you get this idea? Did you even read Ssnakes comment? How does the shockwave reach the crew inside?

Well, the Russian Army did what you proposed, with the Armata series. It's just that it didn't work out (at least not initially). as a stop-gap measure they then adopted the T-72B3 in recognition that the problems with the Armata platform are so big, they don't hope to see it resoved anytime soon. Also, the T-72B3 upgrade seems to be no worse and less costly than T-90. It's just that "better than original T-72B" turned out to still not be good enough. Whether this is a result of endemic corruption in the Russian military procurement system or, my impression, that the design flaws of the carousel autoloader are essentially unfixable, remains an open question. At the end of the day, Russia is an economic dwarf with a military far bigger than it can sustain, so we're seeing those spectacular programs such as the Armata, but only in homoeopathic doses. At least, that's my impression.
