Talk:Compact Kinetic Energy Missile

Future fighting par
"Future Fighting

The CKEM is designed to defeat Explosive Reactive Armor and Active Protection Systems. It is also intended to be smaller and lighter than current missile systems."

This is based on my knowledge of military technology not visible from published info and has no reference. C-KEM uses a kinetic, high velocity approach to armor penetration that is not susceptible to early ("light") ERA and early APS, but many new ERA ("heavy ERA") and APS developments ("heavy ERA in service since man years) are effective against APFSDS and the equivalent CKEM. I personally like the CKEM concept, but this part of the article sounds like public relations bravado, not like actual information. Maybe CKEM has enough penetration capability and would be overkill enogh to penetrate even despite heavy ERA and APS) - the present text is at the very least misleading, though. I'll delete this part if no source will e found in the next time. There's no source anyway. Lastdingo (talk) 14:51, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * addition:; CKEM could also overcome APS with ripple fire (saturation) - that would be a method to overcome APS by the mode of employment, not by the missile hardware itself. Again, I think the statement in the article is misleading at best. Lastdingo (talk) 16:21, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
