Military engineers from the Khrulev Academy have developed a new modular protection kit for the Khrizantema-S self-propelled anti-tank missile system (ATGM). It is designed to increase the combat vehicle's survivability in conditions of widespread use of drones and other aerial attack means.

The main feature of the design is a peculiar protective "canopy" over the combat vehicle. According to the patent, the frame accommodates 110 "Kontakt" type reactive armor blocks and 55 corner reflectors.

The entire system is installed above the vehicle's hull, creating an additional barrier between the equipment and attacking drones.

The protective kit itself consists of support posts, beams, a net, and modules that the crew can install independently without factory conditions. If necessary, damaged elements can be quickly replaced with new ones.

The modular scheme allows combining reactive armor and reflectors depending on the nature of the threat. If the vehicle operates in an area of active FPV drone use, the configuration can be quickly changed before going into position.
