Most of it is about ERA, but there are also tests of NERA and of passive armor using ceramics (boron carbide). But IMO the biggest reveal is the usage of UHU Plus glue I'm very curious about the B4C in conjunction with NERA performance. Also what do you mean by UHU here?

LoooSeR Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 3 hours ago, Wiedzmin said: Spoiler 1964 trials of soviet ERA Quick summary for english speakers: Trials of Soviet anti-HEAT ERA were conducted in VNII-100 from 1958 to 1963. Can increase protection of tanks with weight increase of 550-600kg or decrease of weight of tanks while having same level of protection. Protective section is 420x1130mm, consist of 18 flat charges in aluminea containers. Containers are mounted on steal ribs which are weilded to main armor of the AFV. Weight of that section - 200kg. Total weight of explosives - 28kg. Container height is 48mm. Can survive up to 4 hits. ERA have 2nd variant with assemblable sections with height of 120mm, can be mounted by a crew in 10 minutes. Turret protection consist of 2 parts - upper+roof and lower part of turret. Lower part consist of multilayered protective charges, upper - same sections as on frontal armor. That ERA allows protection from Schmel and Kop'yo missiles and similar. Weight of that assembly on turret - 400kg Wiedzmin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoooSeR Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 ERA blocks for BMP-3. Quote The kit is designed to increase the protection of the BMP-3 from RPGs, armor-piercing bullets of up to 14.5 mm caliber and shells from small-caliber guns of 30 mm caliber. The basis of the complex was the new ERA 4S24, which provides the required level of protection and the necessary survivability.
