	Vehicle armour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Military vehicles are commonly armoured to withstand the impact of shrapnel, bullets or shells, protecting the soldiers inside from enemy fire.
		The most heavily armoured vehicles today are the main battle tanks, which are the spearhead of the ground forces, and are designed to withstand anti-tank missiles, kinetic energy penetrators, NBC threats and in some tanks even steep-trajectory shells.
		Composite armour (aka Chobham armour) was developed in the 1960s by the British and first used on the American M1 Abrams but not, as is often presumed, on the German Leopard 2.

	Chobham armour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the exact composition of Chobham armour remains a secret, it appears to be a combination of ceramic layered between armour steel plating, a combination that is excellent at defeating high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds.
		Possible ceramics for such armours are: boron carbide, silicon carbide, aluminium oxide (sapphire or "alumina"), titanium boride or Syndie, a synthetic diamond composite.
		The latest version of Chobham armour is used on the Challenger 2 (called Dorchester armour), and (though the composition most probably differs) the M1 Abrams series of tanks, which according to official sources is presently protected by silicon carbide tiles.

	Armouing the Knight
		Armour is designed to work in many ways- each of the pieces that have several parts aren't not simply held together with rivets to make them pivot.
		Leg armour was less likely to sustain blows, and a knight needed to be able to feel his horse through the metal wrapped round his legs.
		Armour is cleaned in several ways- it can be scoured of rust by using oil or fat with finely ground sand mixed in.

		Just before the start of operation Peace for Galilee (1982) an armour suite was developed for the M113's serving as armoured personnel carriers.
		This suite, the concept of which is called spaced armour, was supposed to protect the hull by letting RPG's explode on the new armour instead of the basic hull.
		Rafael Inc. developed a new armour suite, consisting of perforated carbon-steel plates, which were stronger and lighter than the original armour suite.

		USA perforated armour technology is markedly inferior to that of the Germans, the world leaders in this field - so they have no alternative solution to offer.
		Im not sure how perforated armor performs in comparison to other types, but the swedish package is generally regarded as superior to the leo's.
		By the end of the war, tanks tended to come in three varieties: a fast, lightly armored tank for scouting, a slow-to-medium speed tank with very thick armor and a big gun, and specialist tanks, which used a tank's armor and mobility to get a special-purpose weapon to where it was needed.
