Default Re: UK IFV Warrior, new infomation.

SLAT is not like a classic armor! it prevents warhead to detonate.Fuse dont hit anything, so it will not explode. Bigger ATGM like hellfire are too big. their weight is much bigger, so they demolate SLAT cage at impact and then detonate.Most of modern ATGM has tandem warhead, so if first warhead is damaged at the impact, second will penetrate thru... SLAT is perfect solution fot urban fighting, but will not help against heavy ATGM or tank HEAT round.
