armor plating
Tank's metal skin
Armor plating is thick metal sheets or panels designed to protect vehicles, ships, or structures from weapons fire and explosions.
Military tanks, warships, and fortifications use armor plating to shield against projectiles.
The term sometimes appears figuratively for any heavy protective barrier: The politician's armor plating of media handlers kept reporters at bay.
