Sorry? When did I say that CG rounds are unstoppable? Please quote the
exact words, for I have never intended to say so and am fairly certain
that I haven't. 

Going through my "sent mail" bin, the closest I can find is

"Mind you, *none* of the CG rounds go fast enough to be unstoppable by
point defence, and neither do any other HEAT missiles."

The exact opposite of what you claim that I've said, and I'm NOT going
to reconsider this. Please be just a *little* more careful with your
attributions in the future.

What I *have* said is that TODAY'S AFV PDS systems (ie, ARENA and
DROZD) are (probably) unable to deflect LONG-ROD PENETRATORS. Long-rods
move approx. five times faster than a CG round - or, for that matter,
than a 16" projectile does at the end of a long-range trajectory.

The CG does not fire a long-rod penetrator. 

No regards this time.
