Initially designed to strengthen tanks, a reactive armour, that explodes when hit by either kinetic energy or high explosive antitank (HEAT) projectiles, disrupting the round, and degrading its penetration. Explosive reactive armour is most effective against HEAT rounds.
The new Russian Kontakt-5 ERA is not completely destroyed when hit - it still functions as armour after exploding.
Anti-tank weapons work by piercing the armour and exploding inside, thus killing the crew.
Explosive reactive armour counteracts the force of the explosion by creating another explosion on itself. Against shaped charged missiles, this type of armour really comes into it's own.
The design was patented by Manfred Held in the 1970's.

After going to a local run down club in which you are so drunk you can't even stand up and bring a lady friend back to the house. Instead of having sex as most would, you decide that it would be a better idea to take a cleansing shower together. While in the shower, the young italian male decides to give the college girl a reach-around. This isn't your normal reach around however........
He simply inserts one finger into the bung hole and goes to town. The girl goes nuts and realizes how much of an anal fetish she has. The male will be proud of what has taken place later, once he sobers up from his cranberry/vodkas. He will then brag to his friends at every possible opportunity.
