Russian military equipment used during a special military operation receives additional protection. This is reported by the project " RG: Russian weapons ".Thus, armored personnel carriers BTR-82A, infantry fighting vehicles BMP-2 and BMP-3 are equipped with anti-cumulative screens installed in the frontal parts of the hulls, on the sides and on the towers.
Similar grilles appeared on the self-propelled artillery installations involved in the SVO.
Such a body kit significantly reduces the effectiveness of various enemy rocket-propelled munitions launched from hand-held and machine-gun grenade launchers.
The main battle tanks T-72B3M, T-80BVM and T-90M "Breakthrough-3" were designed from the very beginning as highly mobile mobile fortresses, but combat experience has demonstrated that there is never enough armor. Currently, their side projections are already being covered with a new type of defense, other structural elements have been significantly strengthened.
Due to the fact that the enemy has begun to actively use FPV drones with cumulative warheads or explosives attached to them as weapons of destruction, measures are being taken to reduce their effectiveness. In order for the kamikaze rotorcraft not to fly into the open hatches of cars, special "umbrellas" mounted above the towers became relevant again.
Recently, a photo of an unusual-looking armored recovery vehicle was seen on social networks. The BRAM-1M received a hinged "Contact" placed on the upper frontal part. Its side screens are the same as those of the T-72B3M.
Such tractors play a significant role, with their help, damaged tanks, other heavy armored vehicles are towed to the rear, where military personnel of repair units are engaged in its restoration.
