But anyway PRG round which costs probably around hundred bucks can penetrates heaviest Ambrams sounds amazing and unrealistic.

An old saying comes to mind; "It doesn't matter if the stone hits the pitcher or the pitcher hits the stone. Either way, its going to be bad for the pitcher."

Time to start working on some sort of point defense for tanks and/or "reactive reactive" armor, fellers.

Composite armor is 30 years old. That it survived this long on the battlefield is truly amazing. There are weapons on the drawing board (and probably fielded) that can pick up a 60 ton tank and throw it 100 yards. The day of heavy armor is coming to an end. That is the reason America is moving away from a heavy armor backbone, to a mobile, less protected, more offense-oriented force.
