Thus, one of the Russian military units, perhaps, a new mechanized connection, has created a production base, perhaps even on the front line, where they opened, tested, assemble and install additional protective elements on armored vehicles. According to the occupier who gives an interview on the video, installation of complete protection on the fighting machine can take one day. The video shows armored vehicles, BMP-1, provided with mesh screens.
This protection covers part of the motor compartment, the upper part and the sides of the tower. In addition, the Russian military demonstrated the repair of the protective system of the reactive system of the volley fire BM-21 "Grad". They claim that such protection effectively restrains the threat from the Ukrainian FPV and mentioned the case where the armored vehicle withstood several trains.
The Militari edition notes that the grid type of Rabica grid can prevent the release of shells and probably partially protect against debris. However, the effectiveness of protection against drones that tolerate cumulative ammunition remains unclear, given the distance between the grid and the armor. We will remind, on January 4 it was reported that in the area of the settlement of Krasnogorivka, which near the Avdiivka of Donetsk region Russians threw a rare wheel BTR-90 "Rostok".
