This article has some serious flaws, but is more or less worthwhile. I almost added a link that claimed that Chobham was reverse engineered from UFOs.

Isn't FCS thing made of plastic?

I know how Chobham/Dorchester works tanker, I just wanted that kid to find out for himself.

Why inflexible? How can you put a block of Chobham on a corner and bend it? It's like trying to cover a corner with a sandwich, the bread will tear.

you know ceramics and plastics are two different classes of materials, right?

anyway, I think most people associate cheap consumer products with plastics, but more broadly plastics=polymers=long, intertwined molecular strings (basically). There are some high grade plastics out there already (i.e. Kevlar is a polymer) so it is not a big stretch of the imagination to see some sort of "plastics" used for armored vehicles or even tanks.

dumb mainlander is hardly anything to what he used to say. ive dissed the U.s in ways worse than this.

BrotherofSnake

Migleader, why are you so anti American? you seem very angry.

FriedRiceNSpice

BrotherofSnake, why are so anti China? you seem very unthankful.

BrotherofSnake

I am not anti China, I just don't like the commies running the government there. If China was democratic then they could get along with America. How am i unthankful?

FriedRiceNSpice

BrotherofSnake, are your parents from Taiwan or China?

BrotherofSnake

They are both from mainland. I don't know exactly where my mom is from, but my dad grew up on Hainan Island.

Ey Fried, you ever visited China?

I went back to China in the summer of 2004. Although I was impressed by the awesome skyscrappers, parks, highways, wide boulevards, and modern buildings, I do have to admit that I did see things that I did not want to see. I saw poor people, I saw beggars, I saw poor rural peasants. I also experienced firsthand the pollution, and how dirty everything is back in China. But in the end, despite all the negative things, I still loved what I saw. After all, it is my country. I believe with hard work and faith, China will only get better and better.
