In Russia, a complex of active protection against UAVs and missiles on the T-90m tank was installed: what is known

The Arena-M Complex consists of six radar stations that control the space around the combat vehicle and inform the onboard computer about the threats in the inspection area. The radars overlap the sectors in the frontal, onboard and feed projections, but the roof of the tower remains in the "blind zone" and the specified point is a standard scenario for work for anti -tank missiles Javelin and percussion drones.

Therefore, through the integration of elements of the complex into the space by falseboard, hidden mortars of smoke grenade launchers were transferred to the open installation on the roof of the tower. False papers should also be placed launch mines with ready-to-run counterbooes, which are threatened with a narrow-minded flow of heavy debris. According to patent documentation, their number can reach 14 units.

For the proper operation of Arena-M requires open space around the car, so the tank cannot be installed already antitrone "superstructures", which have become traditional for the Russian army. But if the integrated complex has been adapted to intercepts drones, the needle may be disappeared in the "chickens" and "sheds" on the portal.

Last year, the General Designer of the Russian "Design Bureau" Valery Kashin stated that his department was working on the adaptation of "Arena-M" to intercepts barrading drones. At the same time, the authors of the thematic Telegram-channel BTVT2019 believe that the benefits of the Arena-M active protection complex on the T-90M tank will be. As it is noted, the effect would be if this Kaja had appeared during the dominance of PTRC, not drones.
