Reactive armour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (823 words) |
 | Reactive armour can be defeated with multiple hits in the same place, employed in tandem-charge weapons, which use two or more shaped charge explosions in rapid succession. |
| Explosive reactive armor's protective mechanism against shaped charge warheads involves producing an explosion when it is impacted by a weapon, moving the reactive elements and thus disrupting the jet of molten metal the warhead produces, significantly reducing its penetration capability. |
| ERA tiles are used as add-on armour to the most vulnerable portions of an armoured fighting vehicle, typically the front of the hull and the front and sides of the turret. |
