Abstract
High Explosive Squash Head (HESH) is secondary type ammunition for Arjun Main Battle Tank, in which the explosive shell deforms on contact with the target, allowing the explosive to spread. A base fuse then detonates the explosive which sends shock waves through the armour. The shock waves are reflected from the internal face of the armour and when they meet the next incoming wave, the resulting wave front causes the armour to fracture and overmatch of the armour which then fails, causing a large scab to form and fragments to scatter inside the enemy Tank.
