The armored vehicles demonstrated at the "Army-2024" forum radically differ from what the Russian army displays at military parades on Red Square. The authors of EDR Magazine came to this conclusion.
Journalists noted that tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and airborne fighting vehicles, which had streamlined hull and turret contours and low silhouettes, have now turned into peculiar "monsters," wrapped on all sides in anti-tank nets and slat armor.
They explained this transformation with logical reasons - the saturation of the airspace above the modern battlefield with loitering munitions and strike FPV drones, capable of immobilizing and then destroying any armored vehicle.
To enhance the protection of the upper hemisphere, nets for protection against UAVs, visors with frame armor, camouflage materials, elements of active protection, and portable radio-electronic countermeasures systems are installed on the turrets of almost all tanks, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, and airborne fighting vehicles, which allow blocking the control channels of FPV drones. The stern is covered with multi-layer rubber sheets.
Earlier it became known that the firing range of the self-propelled gun "Hyacinth-S" will increase thanks to the "Krasnopol-D" projectile. When using actively-reactive projectiles ZOF30 "Baklan" from a rifled gun 2A37 with a length of 47 calibers, the firing range from "Hyacinth-S" can reach 33.1 km.
