HMMWV defended from drones: The Armed Forces showed an armored "Hammer" (video)

To spread: The Ukrainian military continues to look for additional protection of Western military equipment against attacks of hostile drones. One of these examples was the HMMWV armored car, protected from FPV-aid threats. On the channel of professional military Alexander Svyatova there was a video review of the American Hammer, which received additional remedies against UAV.

According to the author of the review, these decisions applied to HMMWV have already proven efficiency on the battlefield and can be a example of modernization and other types of defense forces. This machine has been repaired before modernization. First of all, additional metal screens around the perimeter of the machine enter the eye, with the frontal projection of the lattice is reinforced by additional armored worms.

It additionally has infrared illumination, which is required for movement at night. The grate also has additional lights, which also act as the dimensions of the vehicle. The distance from the board of the machine to the protective structure of quality steel is 40 cm, which is caused by the peculiarities of the injury that causes cumulative ammunition. And the upper projection of the lattice is located from the roof of "Hammer" at a height of 50 cm.

It is only noted that additional batteries are installed inside the Hammer, which provide continuous work of EWS. Extra cameras with infrared illumination were installed behind for better orientation. "The total cost of all work was about UAH 250,000. Of these, 50 thousand are a grid, 50 thousand - batteries, the EWS systems - about 100 thousand, and another 50 thousand are spare traction batteries for the machine in Non Stop mode. Plus monitors, cameras, wires, etc. ," said Svyatov.
