The Ministry of Defense has patented a T-72B3M tank model along with the new Arena-M system, capable of repelling anti-tank weapons of a potential enemy.
The TASS news agency writes about the already patented combination of Russian tanks with the protection system, referring to the description of the patent, which was at the disposal of the editors.
It is noted that the characteristics of the Arena-M allow it to protect the tank from grenades, guided missiles and artillery cumulative projectiles.
This is achieved through twelve shafts with protective ammunition, placed on the brackets of the turret. They provide all-round protection of the tank, taking into account the correction of the position of the ammunition in azimuth in flight after firing.
When enemy ammunition approaches the tank, it ends up under a directed stream of damaging elements from the tank ammunition.
Arena-M was developed by Kolomna KBM. It is part of the High-Precision Systems holding of the Rostec State Corporation.
