they will be doing a series of tests on the armor strength against a variety of weapons.

I had a buddy that did high speed camera work back in the day on test ranges.

they watch for missile penetration on the outer shell.

and on an aside, sure they can use old blown up versions, but sometimes, the heat of an explosion will change a metals composition to make it unusable for tests.

getting an intact tank without that, is a good find.
