Small caliber artillery plays an important role in the destruction of lightly armored and easily vulnerable equipment. Currently, a search is underway to increase its damaging effect. The article deals with the possibility of increasing the damaging effects of small-caliber artillery ammunition in the fuel tanks of aircraft and helicopters. The physicochemical properties of fluoropolymer materials are considered. The process of thermodynamic decomposition of a fluoropolymer is considered. The results of experiments on the interaction of fluoroplastic and aluminum / titanium alloys are analyzed. Pictures of changes in the titanium wet structure under the impact of ammunition including fluoroplastic are shown. The Ballistic Stand installation was designed to evaluate the incendiary effect of fluoropolymer materials. Several possible designs of projectiles containing fluoroplastic are selected to evaluate their structural characteristics for incendiary effect. A comparison of the results of the calculation of the probability of the incendiary effect of strikers based on fluoropolymers on diesel fuel was made.
