Мантия-невидимка от американского Javelin: «Накидка» от «Калашникова» в 3,5 раза снизила угрозу для Т-80БВМ

Thermal imager detection range reduced by 7 times

The Russian army is equipped with modernized T-80BVM gas turbine tanks. They are equipped with the "Nakidka" radar and IR signature reduction kit, as well as a multi-band modification of the K-12 "Kapushon" electronic warfare (EW) system.

The probability of capturing a T-80BVM with "Nakidka" using the infrared homing head ( seeker) of the FGM-148E Block I Javelin missile is reduced by 3-3.5 times, according to military expert Evgeny Damantsev. The detection range using thermal imaging sights is also reduced - by more than 5-7 times.

The effective reflecting surface of the vehicle in the X-band is reduced by 8 times. This reduces the detection range of equipment, for example, by the onboard AFAR-RLK AN/ZPY-2 RQ-4B Global Hawk UAV by 1.5-1.7 times, from 200-160 km to 130-100 km.

The manufacturer of the "Nakidka" protective material is JSC "NII Stali" (part of the Kalashnikov concern).

The "Kapushon" EW complex is supplemented by a multi-band directional frequency spectrum analyzer for modeling a jamming signal corresponding to the frequency ranges of video links and radio control channels of enemy drones.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that various versions of BMP-2, BMD-4, BTR-MDM infantry fighting vehicles began to be regularly equipped with "Nakidkas".
