The Russian complex of active protection (Kaz) armored vehicles “Arena-M” can reflect the attack from any direction. The system received modern radar and maneuverable ammunition to destroy the attackering projectile. Features of the complex revealed the head of the department of development and design of Kolomna KBM, Vladimir Kharkin on the air of the TV channel “Star”.
Protective ammunition “Arena-M” complex can take towards the threat after shooting. Thanks to pulsed engines, ammunition unfold “in the minimum time,” the designer emphasized. This allows you to provide a circular defense of the tank.
“Arena-M” works in automatic mode. Radar of the active protection complex fixes missile launches towards the car. When the attacking ammunition is detected, there is a start and undermining two protective shells that are stored in protected boxes. The directional flow of fragments destroys the attacking rocket.
Previously, the industrial director of the arms complex of the State Corporation “Rostech” Beckhan Ozdoev said that “Arena-M” can intercept all modern anti-tank managed rockets. In particular, the Russian KAZ can destroy the rockets of FGM-148 Javelin and Spike complexes, which attack armored vehicles into a globally excreted top half meader.
