Main battle tanks T-72B3M will also receive Arena-M active protection systems (APS). The system will significantly increase the survivability of military equipment on the modern battlefield.
One of the T-72B3M received the maximum configuration — a protective "visor" above the turret, electronic warfare systems, as well as a mine trawl and a camouflage "cape". Last week, footage of a T-90M tank with the Arena-M APS also appeared online.
The Arena-M includes a radar station (RLS) with high noise immunity, special ammunition in the mines around the perimeter of the tank turret, and an onboard computer.
The radar detects an enemy projectile, anti-tank missile, or grenade aimed at the tank, calculates their trajectory, and fires a protective munition that destroys the target in flight with a beam of striking elements.
At the same time, the effectiveness of Arena-M against kamikaze drones approaching the target at different angles is currently unknown.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia showed the updated Lancet-E complex in India for the first time.
