text: Almost every advanced Main Battle Tank is fitted with the British 'Chobham Armour' design[citation needed]; with two examples being the American 'M1 Abrams' and the German 'Leopard II'[citation needed];. This is the most advanced armour plating available[citation needed]; for any tank (with the exception of the British 'Challenger II') and has been proven against a wide array of previous generation Rocket Propelled Weaponry and Explosives.
  However, as effective and advanced as armour plating has become, tank survivability against newer-generation (1980s) tandem-warhead anti-tank missiles is a concern for military planners.[38] For example, the RPG-29 is able to penetrate the thickest frontal hull armour of the Challenger II[39][40] and also managed to damage a M1 Abrams.[41]
