Reactive armor

Reactive armor is a type of armor that helps protect vehicles and soldiers from being destroyed by bombs and other explosives. It works by having special pieces of material or blocks that react when they are hit by a bomb or other explosive. The reaction causes the material or blocks to become very hard and they absorb the energy of the explosion like a cushion. This helps to protect the vehicle or soldier from the force of the explosion.
