Tungsten core penetrator has the advantages of high speed, low trajectory extension, short flight time, high hitting accuracy, high kinetic energy and high armour piercing power. It can be used to attack tanks, self-propelled guns, armored vehicles, ships, aircraft and other armored targets. It can also be used to destroy strong fortifications.
Depleted uranium bomb is inherently toxic and radioactive, which has poor oxidation resistance and limited storage time. Compared with depleted uranium munitions, tungsten core penetrator is environmentally friendly and pollution-free. Because the planned battle area of Chinese tanks is local and nearby, tungsten core penetrator is mainly used.
