Catastrophic kill
Encyclopedia : C : CA : CAT : Catastrophic kill
A Catastrophic kill, K-Kill or complete kill refers to damage inflicted on a vehicle by a weapon that renders it both unusable and unrepairable. Typically a catastrophic kill results in the ignition of any fuel the vehicle may be carrying as well as the detonation of its ammunition resulting in an explosion. A catastrophic kill does not preclude the survival of the vehicles crew, for example the crew of an aircraft might bail out or eject.
