Tank Shields
Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2021 2:00 am
As wars progress, an old weapon still causes fear among tank crews, the RPG, which uses hollow-charge ammunition that easily pierces even the most advanced armor.
Several measures have been taken against this weapon, such as the grilles around vehicles that keep the explosion from the main armor, which is rarely pierced.
MBTs can use other types of armor, such as:
Reactive armor: consists of a series of explosives outside the tanks, which when hit by a rpg explodes, dividing the missile's energy. (These explosives are not strong enough to damage the armor)
Active Shielding: are devices that aim to locate, identify and eliminate threats before they impact the vehicle by firing ammunition in the direction of the threats. These systems are usually divided into direct fire systems and interceptors.
My idea is that they are technologies that will give more defense against anti-tank missiles. Dividing into three types, and that a technology will only affect the types of tanks that use it in real life.
