I realize that tank armor is weak at the top, but it's amazing to me that a few kilograms of explosives dropped anywhere on a tank can disable it. Are these drones even using a shaped charge?
- hylaride 3y agoMost modern anti-tank rounds (including the famous Javalin and NLAW) actually use a small "pin" object to penetrate the tanks, which causes a shrapnel or gas explosion inside the tank. Some antitank rounds (HESH) don't even penetrate the armour, but cause the inside layer of armour to separate and shred the inside: https://www.ontrmuseum.ca/tankmuseum/blog-post/modern-anti-tank-ammunition/ https://www.ontrmuseum.ca/tankmuseum/blog-post/modern-anti-t...
