~Um, no, continuous rod warheads are quite useless against armor and are ONLY used in anti-air munitions~

I know and never said it is good for armor.

~And you are 100% wrong. No Buk missile yet deployed has a continuous rod warhead ~

Ah, if Wikipediqa said so... AFAIK the most common munitions (9m317) is a continuous rod.

Jane’s has the 9M317 as a combined effects blast/frag warhead. There are no Buk variants that we know of with C-R warhead-tipped missiles..

Also, you did say that: “A rod charge is a penetrator for armor, like a tank.”
