Dragon1-1 Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 Well, explain how a 70kg fragmentation warhead is going to do anything to a GM-355, which is armored against small arms fire (up to 7.62mm) and shell fragments. The only grade A nonsense I see here is the idea you can destroy or significantly damage an armored vehicle with a HARM.

The only grade A nonsense I see here is the idea you can destroy or significantly damage an armored vehicle with a HARM. So, a few things here. First of all, armor against 7.62mm and shell fragments is basically the minimum amount of protection possible so I don't know why you keep quoting that as if it's significant. Not really enough to protect you from a direct hit of any kind, not even a mortar bomb. Second of all, the exact capabilities of the HARMs warhead are probably classified but it's safe to say it's not designed as an anti personnel weapon as you seem to believe and its steel/tungsten fragments are intended to have anti-material effect given its purpose. And finally, 150 lb (68 kg) of warhead is a lot, comparable to a large artillery shell.
falcon_120 Posted December 16, 2022 Posted December 16, 2022 Also, how is important if it gets through armor (which I really think it does), the important thing is that all electronic equipment and even missiles launchers will have nice little holes as if a gigantic shotgun just fired on them, for sure it will not be operative anymore with a close hit, even less with a direct one.Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk
