Men du ser volymen på blocken och ...
Jag tror inte att de innehåller ett endaste dugg uran, även om det naturligtvis är möjligt. Utan ERA och keramiskt pansar och vanligt stål.
Jo, jag ser tjockleken.
Min bedömning är att blocken är i tunnaste laget för att vara effektiva som reaktivt pansar. (Vanligtvis är reaktivt pansar dubbelt så tjockt.) Däremot kan de mycket väl innehålla ett par lager (uran-)plåt med luftspalter emellan.

General Dynamics Awarded $38 Million for Production of Reactive Armor for Bradley Fighting Vehicle
07.07.05
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products, a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), has been awarded a $37.8 million contract modification from the U.S. Army’s TACOM/ARDEC Picatinny Arsenal (Picatinny, N.J.) for the production of approximately 168 enhanced-capability reactive armor tile sets for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle System. Total contract value upon definitization could reach $50.4 million. This award modifies a contract originally awarded in November 2004, bringing total contract value to $84.4 million.
The reactive armor package, designed specifically for the U.S. Army Bradley Fighting Vehicle, is saving lives and preventing crippling damage to combat vehicles in Iraq, giving units equipped with the armor a clear advantage on the battlefield. The system is made up of tiles that fasten to the exterior of the vehicles. Equipped with the General Dynamics reactive armor, Bradley Fighting Vehicles are better able to withstand a direct hit from a variety of anti-armor munitions, including the shoulder-fired rocket propelled grenades that are prevalent in many of today’s regional conflicts.
General Dynamics’ strategic partner, RAFAEL Armament Development Authority Ltd., Ordnance Systems (Haifa, Israel), will share 50 percent of the production workload. The production program will be directed from the General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products Burlington Technology Center, Burlington, Vt., with U.S. tile production occurring at the company’s reactive armor facility in Stone County, Miss.
