Collision of asteroids with the main-belt asteroid population is considered with the effect of the impact kinetic energy taken into account. It is found that objects in eccentric orbits have a larger probability of destructive collision as compared to objects in orbits with mean values of eccentricity (equal to 0.15) and inclination (equal to 10 deg); also orbits with small semimajor axes (about 2.3 AU) are found to have peak values of the probability of destructive collision.
