ABSTRACT:
A destructive device for the destruction of equipment such as machines, tanks, and tank gun barrels for example, includes a casing, an alumino-thermic mixture carried therein, and an ignition fuse. The mixture is arranged such that, upon ignition, a heat-generating interreaction is produced for a certain reaction period. The casing is arranged to resist being carbonized by the heat generated by such reaction only for a period substantially commensurate with the reaction period. Consequently, the device may be significantly reduced in size and weight. The casing may comprise a low heat-conductive paper material which also serves to maximize the shock resistibility of the device.
