Default Re: Interesting Site: Wheeled vs. Tracked AFV (US

There was a "magical armour" project around, in British industry IIRC, something about high voltage electric fields doing strange things to any shaped-charge penetrator.

Just saying that on the top of my head, haven't heard of this for quite a while. Has someone more recent info about that?

Anyway, the USAF has C-17s for less hairy landings, and IF you have stronger opposition on an airfield than units in a C-130J flight can take out, a huge air preparation (US style) is sure to do the trick.
