Tank DS Flashcards
What is the XM19 ARAT ?
A self contained sealed box containing elements of metal and explosive. Inside is an explosive casette that is sheet explosive sandwhiched between two metal plates.
How does the XM19 ARAT disrupt the shape charge ?
The detonation of the sheet explosive within the cassette sends the two armour plates in opposite directions and the combination of the detonation and moving plates disrupts the shape charge jet.
What is the explosive fill of the XM19 ARAT?
LF-2XA
