The side projections of the "visors" are covered with elements of rubber-fabric screens based on conveyor belts designed for transporting ferroalloys at metallurgical enterprises.

They have suitable physical and mechanical qualities for defocusing cumulative jets and reducing the kinetic energy of heavy high-speed fragments that can damage the modules of multi-channel sights of Sosna-U gunners or 1PN96MT-02.

Steel cord conveyor belts are able to withstand extreme loads, high temperatures and aggressive environments, which makes them irreplaceable in the processes of production and processing of metals.
