What is a penetrator kinetic energy?
Penetrator kinetic energy or penetrator K is a projectile weapon that explodes, but rather damages its goal by slamming it at high speeds. (Only through kinetic energy.) The primary modern use of Peter K is to penetrate the armor. In the military, the term Armor-Piercing Fin Stabilized Fin Stabilized Sabot (APFSDS) is used for the most common form of kerator. APFSDS is essentially superfall (1.4 - 1.9 km/s) an arrow with a tip made of an exhausted uranium alloy. In addition to slamming at the target at huge speeds, the exhausted uranium ignites from the energy of the impact and the subsequent contact with the air, which makes this penetrator a very effective weapon for pulling tanks.
Other penetrators of kinetic energy were explored and developed by the army. Program for a special weapon of special purpose was the project K Petetrator project that was chased by the US Army ReleGiving and engineers for several decades. The aim of this program was to create a functional rifle based on Flesette for soldiers to be used in the field. There are several military motivations for the development of hand -made pentetors. First, small arrows at high speeds (Flelettes) have a higher penetration force than traditional bullets. Second, they have less backward than bullets, allowing better accuracy on automatic fire. Finally, the falets weigh less, allowing the infantry to carry more wheels. Unfortunately, although many billions were spent on the project, the pocket penetrator to Peter has never worked well enough to see daylight. The interference of ammunition was a frequent problem and overheating.
Recently, the US Army introduced a massive kinetic energy weapon - the Trident II rocket with the pay -with Tungsten rods designed to re -enter the atmosphere at extremely high speeds, dispersed kinetic buckshot everywhere and cause damage similarThe highest conventional explosives. This is part of the Prompt Global Strike program that has been launched to find non -skilled alternatives for the first strike strategic ability. Since the nuclear top Trident II and Peter for Penetrator Trident II look the same from the outside, its hypothetical use can actually increase the chance of nuclear confrontation rather than to reduce it, which is intended. Russian President Vladimir Putin mentioned this in a speech in May 2006 and said: "The launch of such a missile could ... trigger a counterattack in full using strategic nuclear forces."
Weapons of piercing shrubs are often seen in sci -Fi, both in both small and large form. Small weapons often known as "needles" appear in Cyberpunk Fiction. Larger penetrators, such as space rocks, have twisted from orbit, have in some sci-fi stories and could actually be developed in the longer-term future, despite contracts against space militarization. FinalThe form of the penetrator to penetratoruby relativistic projectile, the object accelerated to the target almost at the speed of light. Fortunately, the acceleration of such an object would require a huge amount of space and energy.
