Эксперт указал на серьезную ошибку в размещении блоков защиты «Контакт-1» на танках Т-80БВ: от кумулятивных снарядов не спасут

But They Will Protect Against FPV Drones

New footage of a Russian T-80BV tank with a vertical configuration of 4S20 dynamic protection elements "Kontakt-1" on board anti-cumulative screens has appeared online. However, this placement is fundamentally incorrect, according to military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

In this case, the angle of inclination of the thrown plates faces the upper hemisphere. This will provide an anti-cumulative effect from FPV drones attacking at angles greater than 45 degrees, as well as from PG-7VL anti-tank grenades dropped from strike copters.

Vertically oriented ERA "Kontakt-1" will not be able to provide adequate protection against cumulative projectiles attacking the tank at safe maneuvering angles of 25-30 degrees.
