Currently in Russia are active protection systems (KAZ) for advanced machines 'Armata' families, "Kurganets-25" and "Boomerang". However, such systems are needed for existing T-72B3, T 80BVM, and T-90M, writes Mordovia Herald.
As the author notes Lev Romanov, developed KAZ are expensive and it is not known, how long will "really, what is called, brought to mind ". therefore, in his opinion, Tank was in service was appropriate to finalize the improved version of the CAP "Arena-E".
"This product has been repeatedly demonstrated in exhibitions. If earlier tankers embarrassed “barrel” central unit with radar, now the size of antenna devices have substantially reduced. They represent several separate, better protected modules, providing virtually round visibility ", - says the material.
Author notes, that launchers submunitions "Arena" "are grouped in containers and provide two-fold protection from one direction, and the use of more modern electronic components to reduce the size, the weight, significantly increased the reliability and performance of equipment KAZ ".
As previously reported, developers, upgraded "Arena" had the opportunity to intercept not only ATGM and RPG rocket grenade, but the cumulative ammunition tank guns.
