"A cone of such "meteorites" easily pierces the turrets and top shielding of armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled gun mounts, and even tank transmission compartments where the armor is not thick."

Oh, I bet the Chinese love these, especially since the Abrams has a nicely broad turret roof and engine deck for the munitions to hit. Probably augmented even further by some nice free-trader obtained technology.
