What sabot do the Syrian 125mm gun tanks use?

I've seen Abrams HCs shrug off Syrian T-72AVs turret shots but TURMS T-72M1s and T-90s 1 shot an Abrams HC with a hit through the turret cheeks.

APFSDS+T the T stands for tracer.

I am curious on this question too. 

I also want to know the ammunition type used by T-72B3 and T-64BV in CMBS.

I have no idea about Shock Force, but in Black Sea all Russian tanks use 3BM60 Svinets-2, and IIRC all Ukrainian tanks use 3BM42 Mango.

I think I've read something about it in patch notes (?) of changes made to the various T-72 models from CMSF1 -> CMSF2. Don't know where though. I do think it was mentioned that the Turms-T variants and the T-90SA have better ammo compared to the other T-72 models in CMSF2. That would correspond to your experience.

The Republican guard tanks do have better ammo. Iirc they are slinging BM42, whereas the regular Syrian tanks are firing BM32 and worse (depending on the tank variant)

Actually, it stands for toenail. Source: it came to me in a lucid dream induced by mandatory malaria pills.
