    During World War II, aircraft rockets earned a formidable reputation, especially in France after the Normandy landings (Operation NEPTUNE); post-war analysis, however, revealed many reported kills were near-misses. Aircraft cannon firing armour-piercing ammunition, such as the Hurribomber's 40 mm or Stuka's 37 mm, could be effective, also.

          Passive countermeasures, like the Russian Shtora system, attempt to jam the guidance systems of incoming guided missiles.

              Explosive reactive armour, or ERA, is another major type of protection against high explosive antitank weapons, in which sections of armour explode to dissipate the focused explosive force of a shaped charge warhead. Reactive armour is attached to the outside of an MBT in small, replaceable bricks.

                No - that's wrong.

                  Active protection systems go one step further than reactive armour. An APS uses radar or other sensing technology to automatically react to incoming projectiles. When the system detects hostile fire, it calculates a firing resolution and directs an explosive-launched counter-projectile to intercept or disrupt the incoming fire a few metres from the target.

                      Surely an impassioned plea about how I needed to get home would melt his stony heart?
