What Does APHE Stand For?

APHE stands for Armour Piercing High Explosive Ammunition

APHE, or Armour Piercing High Explosive Ammunition, is a type of projectile designed to penetrate armor while delivering a powerful explosive payload upon impact. This dual-function capability makes APHE effective against heavily fortified targets, combining the penetrative strength of armor-piercing materials with the destructive force of high explosives. It is commonly used in military applications to enhance lethality and effectiveness in combat scenarios.
