I stumbled across a video on youtube that showed the use of Gallium or mercury to structurally destabilize aluminum.
Would it be possible to develop a munition that could deploy gallium or mercury to, over a short period of time, bring down aluminum structures or aircraft?
Or better yet, is there an equivalent reaction for steel? And if so, could it be feasible to develop a munition for that purpose?
Granted, I understand without a doubt this reaction takes time and would have to be of a support role. IE, deploy and retreat. After the reaction time, the system would fail, reducing exposure to the enemy.
