Due to the resistance in the armour, the jet will "fan out" in a cone shape once it penetrates the armour.

I have written dozens of articles on antitank weapons in the 1980s and early 1990s. I thought I would look up the article for HEAT and thought for sure I would get one stating "On exploding the HEAT warhead forms a hot jet that <b>burns</b> through the tanks armor." But you have to understand. If the official Marine Manual on the M72 LAW in 1965 stated that it "burns" through armor, why should persons doing articles not accept it.</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>But back to the subject. The high velocity partical(sp?) not only is very HOT (ie but it is not hot plasma jet as many state) it comes apart and bounces around inside the armored vehicle like a high powered slug and also causing spalding of the inside of the armor plating. But HEAT warheads can loose effectiveness if its penetration is not enough or the cone is to deep. A very deep copper cone will cause great penetration, but a very small diameter hole. That was why the earlier Russian RPG-2 was more effective against non-main battle tanks like the M113 armored personal carrier. The RPG-2 had a more shallow cone than the later RPG-7, but did not have the penetration of the RPG-7, but it had far more lethal behind the armor effect if it did penetrate. Also, during the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in the 1954 IndChina war, some M-24 Chaffee light tanks were dismantled and flown in, and the Viet Minh hit one over seven times with the older 2.36 inch bazooka and it still continued to fight!!!! Last, the Swiss (ie Dragon) and the Swedes (ie AT-4) came up with the trumpet-style cone that is more resistant to reactive armor side forces on the penetration stream. The Swedes also constructed their AT-4 cone out of specialized aluminum material, that not only penetrates, but has devastating incendiary/flash effect after penetration.</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>Finally, below is a <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/hybenamon/LAND/MISSILES/ERYX%20-%20FRENCH%20AT%20MISSILE/eryx-5.jpg">cut-away photo</a> I was sent by <a href="/wiki/Aerospatiale" class="mw-redirect" title="Aerospatiale">Aerospatiale</a> on the <a href="/wiki/ERYX" class="mw-redirect" title="ERYX">ERYX</a> close range antitank missile.

But I can't figure out how to get around WP policy on images. But for those that are interested it is a good example of tandem HEAT warheads to defeat reactive armor. A trivia: In the early 1980s a bunch of defense publications in the US were yelling "The Sky Is Falling" over Russian T-72 fitted with reactive armor. The US Army was forced to reveal that it had fitted the TOW-2 stand-off probe with a 40mm precursor HEAT warhead on the front end. They were not to happy, having to reveal that little secret.--<a href="/wiki/User:Jackehammond" title="User:Jackehammond">Jackehammond</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Jackehammond" title="User talk:Jackehammond">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:High-explosive_anti-tank#c-Jackehammond-2009-12-11T07:51:00.000Z-Andrimner-2008-10-22T17:55:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:51, 11 December 2009 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Jackehammond-2009-12-11T07:51:00.000Z-Andrimner-2008-10-22T17:55:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Jackehammond-2009-12-11T07:51:00.000Z-Andrimner-2008-10-22T17:55:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-BP_OMowe-2014-10-13T01:20:00.000Z-How_does_this_weapon_actually_kill?"></span>According to the scientists on FOA (Försvarets Forskningsanstalt), the explosives form the metal lining into a rod, which moves up to 10 000 m/s. At those speeds the impact lining/armour becomes plastic, pretty much like when using a water-hose to send a stream of water into mud. The determining factor for penetration is if the liner "runs out" before the armour does.</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <p>Once through, the remaining liner will take the liquefied armour with it, sending the cone of death mentioned above inward. While the fragments certainly are hot enough to set things ablaze, impact alone is enough to kill. What isn't always known is that there is a lot of free space, meaning even penetrating hits can fail to hit anything sensitive. <a href="/wiki/User:BP_OMowe" title="User:BP OMowe">BP OMowe</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:BP_OMowe" title="User talk:BP OMowe">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:High-explosive_anti-tank#c-BP_OMowe-2014-10-13T01:20:00.000Z-How_does_this_weapon_actually_kill?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:20, 13 October 2014 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-BP_OMowe-2014-10-13T01:20:00.000Z-How_does_this_weapon_actually_kill?"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-BP_OMowe-2014-10-13T01:20:00.000Z-How_does_this_weapon_actually_kill?"></span> </p><p><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Arminden-2016-12-04T15:35:00.000Z-How_does_this_weapon_actually_kill?"></span>So put it in the article!</b> It's still not there.

Under the same conditions, it could expect 25% when firing HEAT round.[7] This affects combat on open battlefield with long lines of sight; the same T-62 could expect a 70% first-round hit probability using HEAT rounds on target at 500 meters." </p><p>Due all respect, this information is just guessing by editors of Jane's. I doubt that Jane´s had access to classified soviet documents. In fact, soviet HEAT shells of that era were more accurate than kinetic penetrators and even if their muzzle velocity was lower, this kind of difference in hit probability is impossible. Alos, I doubt that Soviets would rely on HEAT rounds if they were so inaccurate. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/217.33.183.162" title="Special:Contributions/217.33.183.162">217.33.183.162</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:217.33.183.162" title="User talk:217.33.183.162">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:High-explosive_anti-tank#c-217.33.183.162-2013-02-14T09:07:00.000Z-Accuracy" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:07, 14 February 2013 (UTC)</a></span><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-217.33.183.162-2013-02-14T09:07:00.000Z-Accuracy"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-217.33.183.162-2013-02-14T09:07:00.000Z-Accuracy"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-BP_OMowe-2014-10-13T01:20:00.000Z-217.33.183.162-2013-02-14T09:07:00.000Z"></span>You forget that the two main components in the statement are range and velocity. As the HEAT-round travels much slower than the solid penetrator, a non-stationary target will have more time and thus be able to travel a greater distance from the point it was when the projectile was fired. This will of course effect the hit-probability, just as the slow travelling AT-missiles of the Israeli war that allowed the IDF tank-crews to manoeuvre and use suppressing counter fire lowered the hit-rates of the Egyptian missile crews. <a href="/wiki/User:BP_OMowe" title="User:BP OMowe">BP OMowe</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:BP_OMowe" title="User talk:BP OMowe">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:High-explosive_anti-tank#c-BP_OMowe-2014-10-13T01:20:00.000Z-217.33.183.162-2013-02-14T09:07:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:20, 13 October 2014 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-BP_OMowe-2014-10-13T01:20:00.000Z-217.33.183.162-2013-02-14T09:07:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-BP_OMowe-2014-10-13T01:20:00.000Z-217.33.183.162-2013-02-14T09:07:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Andy_Dingley-2014-10-13T09:42:00.000Z-BP_OMowe-2014-10-13T01:20:00.000Z"></span>Also note that the muzzle velocity of a HEAT round not merely <i>could</i> be lower than a kinetic round, when fired from the same MBT gun, but that many of them were also fired from guns that simply couldn't fire any projectile at kinetic velocities.

With "normal bullets" I imagine that upon contact the material in which the bullet enters gets pushed out of the way of the bullet and compressed (I have no clue if that is correct). But with the extremely long and tight hole that a HEAT jets causes it seems to me that it's not possible for the material of the jet to push the armor material "away", not the least because it should also be accelerating more and more armor in front of it and thus creating some sort of "moving armor" front in front of the jet. I have tried to find an explanation of how the physics of the HEAT jet in the armor actually work in various Wikipedia articles (for example in the "bullet" article) but have failed to find any. Asked more bluntly: where do the atoms of the armor go when the jet passes "through" them? Do the jet atoms get stripped of their electrons and just sail through the void between the armor atoms and their electrons (that would be a plasma then I guess which the HEAT jet apparently isn't)? <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:TomasPospisek&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:TomasPospisek (page does not exist)">TomasPospisek</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:TomasPospisek" title="User talk:TomasPospisek">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:High-explosive_anti-tank#c-TomasPospisek-20230320195200-HEAT_Round" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:52, 20 March 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-TomasPospisek-20230320195200-HEAT_Round"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-TomasPospisek-20230320195200-HEAT_Round"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Hohum-20230320202800-TomasPospisek-20230320195200"></span>This may help. <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA226401.pdf">https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA226401.pdf</a> (<a href="/wiki/User:Hohum" title="User:Hohum"><b style="color: Green;">Hohum</b></a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Hohum" title="User talk:Hohum"><sup style="color: Red;">@</sup></a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:High-explosive_anti-tank#c-Hohum-20230320202800-TomasPospisek-20230320195200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:28, 20 March 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Hohum-20230320202800-TomasPospisek-20230320195200"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Hohum-20230320202800-TomasPospisek-20230320195200"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-TomasPospisek-20230324204700-Hohum-20230320202800"></span>Thanks @<a href="/wiki/User:Hohum" title="User:Hohum">Hohum</a>! <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:TomasPospisek&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:TomasPospisek (page does not exist)">TomasPospisek</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:TomasPospisek" title="User talk:TomasPospisek">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:High-explosive_anti-tank#c-TomasPospisek-20230324204700-Hohum-20230320202800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:47, 24 March 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-TomasPospisek-20230324204700-Hohum-20230320202800"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-TomasPospisek-20230324204700-Hohum-20230320202800"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Modern_tanks_are_not_'invulnerable'_to_HEAT" data-mw-thread-id="h-Modern_tanks_are_not_'invulnerable'_to_HEAT-2021-11-15T02:03:00.000Z"><span id="Modern_tanks_are_not_.27invulnerable.27_to_HEAT"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Modern_tanks_are_not_'invulnerable'_to_HEAT-2021-11-15T02:03:00.000Z"></span>Modern tanks are not 'invulnerable' to HEAT<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Modern_tanks_are_not_'invulnerable'_to_HEAT-2021-11-15T02:03:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:High-explosive_anti-tank&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Modern tanks are not 'invulnerable' to HEAT"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-64.223.106.178-2021-11-15T02:03:00.000Z-Modern_tanks_are_not_'invulnerable'_to_HEAT"></span>The frontal armor is. No tank can be fully armored all the way around, thus side and rear and top protection levels are significantly lower than the front, which is what is always quote when people say 'it can defeat such and such projectile'. From the rear most tanks are still vulnerable to RPG rounds and the like, which is why the urban guerilla warfare in places like Iraq was so dangerous for them. There were several M1 Abrams killed by rear sector RPG attacks in Iraq (and of course the tracks are always a weak point, so to say they are 'invulnerable' is mistaken. Also, why does the text say HEAT has 'no incendiary effect' when the comments are filled with people saying the plasmacised metal jet will set things inside on fire? Even if it does not actually 'burn' or 'melt' through armor (and I have my doubts) that does not mean it does not have an incendiary effect. I would be surprised if things were not set on fire by HEAT rounds, which is an incendiary effect. A DU round does not use heat to penetrate, but it certainly has an incendiary effect. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/64.223.106.178" title="Special:Contributions/64.223.106.178">64.223.106.178</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:64.223.106.178&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:64.223.106.178 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:High-explosive_anti-tank#c-64.223.106.178-2021-11-15T02:03:00.000Z-Modern_tanks_are_not_'invulnerable'_to_HEAT" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:03, 15 November 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-64.223.106.178-2021-11-15T02:03:00.000Z-Modern_tanks_are_not_'invulnerable'_to_HEAT"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-64.223.106.178-2021-11-15T02:03:00.000Z-Modern_tanks_are_not_'invulnerable'_to_HEAT"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="explosive_and_incendiary_effects" data-mw-thread-id="h-explosive_and_incendiary_effects-2022-04-01T07:41:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-explosive_and_incendiary_effects-2022-04-01T07:41:00.000Z"></span>explosive and incendiary effects<span data-mw-comment-end="h-explosive_and_incendiary_effects-2022-04-01T07:41:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:High-explosive_anti-tank&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: explosive and incendiary effects"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-93.80.182.89-2022-04-01T07:41:00.000Z-explosive_and_incendiary_effects"></span>"The jet's effect is purely kinetic in nature; the round has no explosive or incendiary effect on the target.
