The M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA infantry fighting vehicles available to the armed formations of the Kiev regime began to receive sets of American Dynamic BRAT (Bradley Reactive Armor Tiles).
As noted by Rossiyskaya Gazeta (the project "RG: Russian weapons" ), such "reactive armor" appeared on overseas infantry fighting vehicles during their use during the occupation of Iraq.
It is hung on the frontal parts of the hull, as well as the sides and the tower. However, as it turned out, this development is relatively effective against not the newest rocket-propelled grenades and anti-tank guided missiles.
However, after such modernization, the mass increases, according to some data, to 33,000 kg, which is more than that of medium tanks of the Second World War, for example, the T-34-85. Also, the maximum speed drops to 61 km/ h and the cross-country ability worsens.

As soon as they received such infantry fighting vehicles, the AFU command threw them into battle in the Zaporozhye direction, which once again led to major losses.
Russian operators sent "Lancets and FPV drones to the most vulnerable places where there was no dynamic protection. Also, Ka-52M helicopters with ATGM "Whirlwind" successfully worked on them.
