Impact of a Lancet on a Leopard2 A5 in Kursk

Impact of a Lancet on a Leopard2 A5 in Kursk.
As we have seen, the armour penetration of a Lancet is quite poor.
However, the lancet operator is clever and descends at a steep angle on the Leopard's turret.
To mitigate the well-known problem of NATO tanks being overweight, the designers created a very thin "roof", in fact in this video you can see the destroyed upper armour of another Leopard where the thickness is clearly visible:

In addition to the thin armour, a steep angle ensures a 0 degree impact on the plane, which mitigates the effect of the actual armour being increased due to the angle.
Another problem with NATO turrets is that due to their ammunition storage and weak top armour, penetrating the turret storage container from above is very easy. The mechanisms they are equipped with may mean that the crew can be saved, but the tank will be destroyed more easily.
In this sense, the NATO design line is much more vulnerable to attack from the top.
These vulnerabilities are trying to be mitigated in the latest Leopard 2A7 and A8 models, with reinforced armour in these areas.
It is not known how much they have been reinforced, but in any case it is unlikely that they would have succeeded in defending it against truly anti-tank weapons if they hit here (the weight would be tremendously excessive), although the changes will make it more resistant against Lancets and FPVs.
