India has achieved a significant breakthrough in military technology by creating a novel explosive, SEBEX 2, which has the potential to increase the destructive power of bombs and warheads twofold. This potent conventional explosive, which has received certification from the navy, ranks among the world's most formidable.
Economic Explosives Ltd, a Nagpur-based subsidiary of Solar Industries, has innovated three distinct explosive compounds that could revolutionize the capabilities of the Indian armed forces. These advancements promise a substantial increase in firepower and explosive impact.
Specifically, SEBEX 2 stands out as an explosive compound that delivers a blast effect far surpassing that of any existing solid explosive.
The efficacy of explosives is gauged by their TNT equivalence, a standard measure of an explosive's power relative to TNT. The greater the TNT equivalence, the more potent and destructive the explosive is.
According to officials from Solar Industries, traditional explosives such as DENTEX/TORPEX, which are widely utilized in various munitions like conventional warheads and aerial bombs, possess a TNT equivalence ranging between 1.25- 1.30.
This benchmark underscores their lethal capacity and the extent of destruction they can inflict.
