Russian troops received a party of upgraded BMD-4M and BMP-3: what were the machines equipped

The published images show that the machines are equipped with lattice armor on the sides of the case and a cage above the roof of the tower. Chains hanging from the upper and lower parts of the cage should reduce the effects of ammunition discharged from drones, as well as protect from RPG-7 and LNG-9 attacks from attacks. The grilles that are installed on the sides are used to protect against anti -tank melee.

The principle of their work is aimed at the destruction of attacking ammunition, which is achieved when they get into the space between the metal plates of the screen. However, this system is effective at certain angles of attack, but does not guarantee full protection, especially during strikes at angles of more than 30 degrees.

The installed grille above the upper pro -projection is intended to reduce the impact of UAVs that Ukrainian forces are widely used, including the drone drones, and drones with direct FPV type. "The frame should provide some protection against both options, but it should not be expected that it will be a complete solution.

Most likely, it will complicate the task of successful damage to the machine and reduce part of the influence if the Ukrainian forces manage to lose ammunition," the authors of the material write. Modernization of machines also includes a system of thermal masking "Caps", designed to reduce the thermal visibility of equipment. It reduces the likelihood of infrared sights and radars. Camouflage weighs 2 kg per square meter and requires an hour to install per square meter of equipment.

These steps confirm that Russia is taking serious measures to adapt its technology to the modern threats that arise during a conflict in Ukraine, summarized reviewers. We will remind, the head of the corporation "Rostekh" Sergey Chemezov in an interview with the Russian RBC stated that there are significant problems in defense enterprises.
