While only effective against tanks without spaced armour or spall liners, the round is still highly favoured for combat demolition purposes.

Original T-72 tanks had homogeneous cast steel armour incorporating spaced armour technology and were moderately well protected by the standards of the early 1970s.
13.
A ground fog largely hid the vehicles from enemy artillery and the spaced armour defeated German machine-gun " Kerngeschoss "-rounds.
14.
The principle of spaced armour protects against focused jet of plasticised metal, very effective at the focus point, but much less so beyond there.
15.
It is still considered useful as not all vehicles are equipped with spaced armour, and it is also the most effective munition for demolishing brick and concrete.
16.
Passive defence naval armour is limited to kevlar or steel ( either single layer or as spaced armour ) protecting particularly vital areas from the effects of nearby impacts.
17.
The roofs now effectively were designed with a second steel roof mounted over the first and works similar to spaced armour, detonating the IED before it struck the main armoured roof.
18.
Whereas the material of normal armour is always a compromise between hardness and ductility, spaced armour can also comprise plates with different material properties to increase its effectiveness against kinetic energy penetrators.
19.
Teams of volunteers established crowdfunding centres that provide the soldiers with diverse support : from food and medicines to equipment like bulletproof vests, spaced armour, thermographic cameras and unmanned aerial vehicles.
20.
Armour with two or more plates spaced a distance apart, called spaced armour, has been in use since the First World War, where it was used on the Schneider CA1 and AFVs.
