Is there such a thing? Watched a series on tanks last night on Netflix. They showed a tank equipped with some sort of ceramic composite protection. I tried to make out the name of this stuff, it was mentioned but not spelled out, and I believe it is called Chobham. Kind of looks like floor tiles. As I googled onward it was mentioned that Chobham is now obsolete or at least old. Apparently tanks are not the piece de resistance they once were and many nations are not producing tanks, at least not where everyone can see. A lot of tank design is shrouded in secrecy so could be not a lot is known about exact composition of Chobham and what’s come after. If anyone knows what exactly it’s made of or the process involved, feel free to inform us.
As with military technology, once someone invents a defensive tool a more powerful offensive counterpart is sure to follow, IMHO. I believe Chobham armor was derailed by a new type of projectile. If I remember correctly this new shell was called a double-hit but how it works I can’t say.
