Russian military personnel discovered a weak spot in the armor configuration of the T-90M "Proryv-3" main battle tank. It turned out to be the turret ring sector, which was originally covered with a single-tier lattice anti-cumulative screen (ACS) from the factory.
Soldiers placed additional 4S20 modules of "Kontakt-1" dynamic protection (DZ) on the ACS.
The DZ element itself consists of two 2.3-mm steel plates and a 5.4 mm layer of plastic explosive PVV-5A. The mass of PVV in one element is 260 grams, which is equivalent to 280 grams of TNT.
About the T-90M "Proryv-3" Tank
The T-90M "Proryv-3" tank is the most advanced vehicle in the T-90 family, best suited for operations in modern combat conditions. The armored vehicle is equipped with an all-weather, highly automated fire control system.
The tank also received a fundamentally new turret, different from the serial one, and a more powerful engine. The "Proryv-3" is armed with a 125-mm tank gun, which allows destroying enemy tanks at a distance of up to 5 km, as well as a 7.62-mm machine gun.
The "Kalina" fire control system allows detecting and engaging targets both from a stationary position and on the move. One of the features of the modernized tank is the ability to exchange data with other vehicles in real time.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the United States recognized the superiority of the Soviet T-34 tank over the "Sherman".
