The best is. DU can be a part of the multi layer, the M1-A1, and M1-A2 Abrams, incorporate as one of the layers. The problem with ceramics, is that while they resist shaped charges well, kinetic energy penetrators will break them up, the more shots they take, the less effective they are. Kevlar

Your struggle with denying the concept there may be something more than oxidation and kinetic energy occuring is something to behold. When penetrating iron oxidation occurs later because even if the atmosphere was 100% oxygen, which it isn't, how much O2 can you get there in under a millisecond?
