Russian soldiers used the Kornet anti-tank missile system (ATGM) to disable an American M2A2 ODS-SA Bradley heavy infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). The Western equipment was hit by a 9M133M-3 multi-purpose anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) with a tandem HEAT warhead, according to military expert Evgeny Damantsev.
Despite the instantaneous penetration of the spaced armor of the frontal projection by the remnants of the shaped charge jet, the BRAT-2 dynamic protection kit minimized its behind-armor effect.
Given this, for the survivability of BMP-3/M crews, it is important to use anti-cumulative "visors" and Relikt dynamic protection kits based on 4S24 elements, which reduce the cumulative effect of the ammunition by 85-90%, Damantsev summarized.
