Thanks, Red Steel. Interesting info. What is “active armor”?
I don’t remember any Abrams being lost in Iraq.
General Patton used a lot of air support in conjunction with his armor, but he’d be amazed today.
Active armor is explosive armor. The missiles have a double charge or a stand off shape charge that is defeated by a counter explosive force. And yup, that’s what I remember, no tanks were lost in either war with Iraq.
