  1. Thnk you very much. IMO optimizing the balance of crew positions and armor modulesis a good way to increase protection and survivebility, for example here we can place gunner and commander closer turret armor increasing their angles protection, while sights been placed backwards.d0109178_5192388b7966b.jpg

  2. A big article in russian about ERA in USSR http://btvt.narod.ru/raznoe/dz68.htm or

    - in USSR in mid 60-s was made KDZ-68 ERA better than mid-80-s Kontakt-5 in durability(destroying only of 5% percent of ERA by hit of SC's versus 30% destroy in K-5);
    - Blazer ERA had not any influence on Kontakt-1 ERA, cause K-1 was prepared by the time of Lebanon war started in 1982 and was tested in army;

    - Blazer - surname of one of KDZ-68 constructors. Coincidence? Don't think so :D
