The M19 SSM | The M19 SSM is capable of penetrating the heavy armor of even the [[Type-26 Wraith|Type-26 Wraith tank]]; lighter vehicles, such as the [[Type-32 Ghost|Type-32 Ghost reconnaissance vehicle]], are typically destroyed upon impact. The M19's blast radius is rather large, making the projectile effective against concentrated groups of infantry. | ||
[[wikipedia:High-explosive anti-tank warhead|HEAT]] warheads in missiles like the M19 use explosive fillers to collapse a cone of ductile metal, typically copper, in order to form a jet of metallic particles that expand toward the target at hypersonic velocities. The tip of the jet punches a small hole in the armor while the remainder of the jet that travels at slower speeds widens the hole and provides [[wikipedia:Spall|spall effect]] to whatever lies beyond the armor. | |||
