Hmm. You know, if it's something like an MBT it may remained sealed in some way, for all I know. A bunch of aluminum at mach 1.5 is going to have significantly less cutting power than a rod of depleted uranium at mach 3. A whole plane might have a crushing effect that no normal-sized munition would, though. And then there's the fire raging over top of whatever is left.

Replace the armored unit with a 1997 Toyota pickup and you're on to something here.

The units are wrong but the ratio is completely credible when you consider how the US has been intercepting drones
