Is the solution to protect the tank in reactive armor? I think yes, but with designs different from the traditional design followed. I think if it was shaped like an iron ball with an explosive head and a concave base and behind it plates with a certain slope containing explosives and an external mesh surrounding the tank, I think this would be enough to stop the shell or missile from destroying the tank. This matter requires more research from me.

I am pleased to announce the publication of my study simulating the explosion of munitions in the Khan Sheikhoun chemical weapons attack and the data of the crater opened as a result of the explosion, and comparing it with real data. In this study, a real chemical weapons attack event that took place in Khan Sheikhoun, Syria on 4 April 2017 was simulated using the finite element method with ANSYS Autodyn software. The software was used to analyze whether the crater formed after the bombing event with known boundary conditions (type and properties of the munition, properties of the ground, velocity of the munition, and height of fall) and data would be formed as a result of this collision and explosion. #OPCW #Chemicalweapons #CWC #CBRN

AerMet® 100 AerMet® 100 is an ultra-high strength type of martensitic (a very hard form of steel crystalline structure) steel alloy. Is was developed in response to a need for a stronger and tougher material with superior fracture toughness and ductility. The alloy possesses a minimum tensile strength of 280 ksi (1930 MPa) and a minimum fracture toughness of 100 Ksi/in. AerMet is weldable requiring no preheating. Since it is not a corrosion resistant alloy, it must be sealed if used in a moist environment. The exceptional properties of hardness, FTT, tensile strength and ductility make this alloy a candidate for application such as; - landing gear - armor - fasteners - actuators - ordnance - jet engine shafts - drive shafts - structural tubing. AerMet 100 may be considered for use up to about 800° F (427° C). #AMS6532 #AMS6478 #UNSK92580

...all the possible solutions need to be examined...
🔹 Introducing the 338 Norma Magnum: Norma Governmental 🔹 Jimmie Sloan was given a clean slate to design the "ideal" .338 cartridge for shooting a 300 gr Sierra Match King bullet with the best accuracy and highest possible velocity within a maximum loaded cartridge length of 93,5 mm (3.68"). The result? The impressive .338 Norma Magnum. #MilitaryGrade #PoliceAmmunition Read more about our Governmental offerings: https://lnkd.in/gN3X7f-Y
