Subcaliber missile


Subcaliber missile - a missile whose warhead has a diameter smaller than the caliber of the weapon from which it is fired. Sub-calibra stabilized shovel bait (APFSDS): 1. sabot; 2. penetrator (rdzeƄ podkalibrowy); 3. Lead ring.

Subcaliber shells are most commonly used in tanks to destroy armored vehicles. They reach speeds of up to 1800 m / s (6480 km / h), and their kinetic energy allows them to pierce their armor with a missile core. Inside the fuselage, the bullet splashes, blatantly the crew of the attacked vehicle.

The factors that determine the high effectiveness of a projectile are:

Subcaliber missiles tend to bounce off the armor if the attacking armor is at an acute angle to the flying bullet. This has to do with the slope of the armor plates. This rule applies to steel armor. Composite panels are more effective than vertical boards.
