So how would the shields work if there was an explosion directly against the hull? For example im going to tell you my next move, I plan to place charges along your hull using my SF troops.

The shield would block you from touching the hull in the first place. The shield is about 1-2cm away from the hull itself, the shield would prevent you from touching the hull without taking out the shield first. Oh and the shields of the Iscandarians are pretty bendable I guess you could say, they can shift to different shapes or certain parts can be removed to allow access.
