Tankers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation equipped a T-80BV tank with BRAT dynamic protection from a captured M2A2 ODS-SA Bradley infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) of American production. The images appeared on social networks.
The tank received new side screens with BRAT blocks, which could have been removed from a Bradley that came into the military's possession. The tank was probably modified in the field.
Also on the turret of the vehicle, you can see a large frame, which can serve as a blank for creating an anti-drone "barbecue".
The standard Bradley Reactive Armor Tiles (BRAT) kit includes 96 parts that protect the vehicle from rocket-propelled grenades and HEAT projectiles.
The protection element consists of a layer of explosive and two metal plates between them. When the module is hit, the BRAT element is detonated, the plate of which destroys the cumulative jet.
