The Aquabats Supershow. Extremely silly

They are adding ERA Panels to the outside of a jet.

ERA tiles, or Explosive Reactive Armor, are small explosive charges sandwiched between two metal plates. They are added to the outside of modern tanks as a means of protection. ERA tiles are designed to detonate when hit by a tank shell or other round.

Essentially, the small explosion they cause can greatly reduce the effectiveness of certain armor penetrating rounds.

All in all, the joke is that they are attaching a bunch of bombs to a plane that, first off, shouldn't be concerned about tank rounds, and secondly, doesn't have enough armor to survive the ERA detonations in the first place.
