    I always knew Smoke On The Water blasted at high volume would come in handy one day!

    The Air Force has been using shock waves to levitate macroscopic objects like tanks for years.

    I have seen the Air Force use 30mm rounds to pulverize tanks, but nothing to levitate them per se.

    Near miss with a bomb will flip them right over. The Navy did the same in WW-II when they'd fire battleship guns at German Tigers.
