Varför är stridsvagnen ovan klädd i små fyrkantiga "paket" på sidan och fram?
Det är keramikplattor. När en RPG detonerar så kommer det en jetstråle som penetrerar mycket tjockt pansar. Om man då kan detonera RPG'n innan den när pansaret eller använder keramikplattor blir effektiviteten hos denne jetstråle = 0. Jänkarna brukar ha "stålburar" runt stridsvagnen på sidorna och på tornet för att detonera tidigare så att den stör strålen. Georgierna, tom nästan alla nationer som brukar sovjetiska strv, använder keramikplattor för att sprida ut strålen.
Så har jag förstått det genom att titta på olika dokumentärer om stridsvagnar, stridsfordon samt om vapen och motmedel mot dessa.
Plattorna är Kontakt-5 ERA (reactive armour )
The Kontakt-5 EDZ is the explosive reactive armour (ERA) currently installed on Russian MBTs. It is often referred to as 2nd generation, heavy-duty, or integral ERA.
Where the conventional ERAs are only capable of defeating shaped-charge jets, Kontakt-5 can also defeat APFSDS rounds. Because of Kontakt-5, long-rod penetrators can lose over 30% of their penetration potential and the protected vehicle becomes immune to them.
This type of ERA can be easily recognized as it gives the vehicle outfitted with it a distinct 'clam-shell' appearance.
It is believed that while protected by Kontakt-5 ERA, Russian MBTs (T-80) cannot be penetrated across the frontal arc by the M256 guns firing M829A1 APFSDS ammo.
In addition, thanks to their heavier (15 mm hard steel) front plate, the Kontakt-5 elements are harder to trigger by the precursor charges of tandem warheads, forcing the producers of tandem ATGMs to allocate more mass to precursor charge and, making an MBT more resistant to tandem HEAT warheads, as well.
The second section from the right is spent. Notice lack of damage to the Kontakt-5 outer shell
It is very important to note that while light ERA containers are completely destroyed in the process of detonation, Kontakt-5 sections are not, as their detonation is contained by the outside armor plates. Therefore even after detonation Kontakt-5 sections continue to provide some applique protection.
