Man, that active protection is so cool! They they should apply that to body armor some sort of reactive arm or that can protect you from a bullet. Like instead of Kevlar, they use tiny amounts of an explosive that can go off at certain pressure, very light and effective.
The dazzlers have been removed on more current versions of the Tank due to their limited effectiveness against newer and upgraded saclos missiles iirc. Reason being that they Block the space on the turret Front for era which is considered a better defense against newer missiles
Starting at about 2:06, something on the engine access deck comes loose and falls off. Not a good "selling point" assuming the video is for "demonstration" purposes. Thanks for the video and information! RIP to all those crewmen who lost their lives in these.
Lancaster MkIII. My great uncle served on one as part of the Royal Australian Airforce in WW2. On 25th July 1944 he was sent to bomb the industrial assets of Stuttgart in a night mission. Of a force of over 300 Lancasters and Halifax’s deployed on this particular raid, 23 were shot down. He was one of them. Witness from other crews last saw the plane nosediving whilst ablaze, before crashing on the banks of the river Rhein and exploding on impact. It’s unknown exactly what had shot down their aircraft, but it’s believed to be a German night fighter ace who was operating in the same area and had achieved an unknown four-engine plane victory. I forget his name. My great uncle and the other 5 Australian boys on board were killed. He was 22. The morning after their departure, German locals from the nearby town of Rheinsheim found the crash and respectfully buried the crew. I hold so much appreciation for them as they had likely already known many of their own folk and family who’d also lost their lives, though they’d still taken the effort and risk for a last act of closure for their fallen enemy. The bodies of the crew were exhumed years after the war to the Durnbach War cemetery. Given the violent nature of plane crashes, they were unable to determine the bodies of my great uncle and two other crewmen, so they are buried together with three headstones. I want to visit them some day.
Shtora-1 only works against certain weapons. It doesn't work against the spear at all. It does work against some anti-tank weapons, but if the wielder of this weapon is capable, they can learn to overcome Shtora-1.
My favorite military vehicle is the ASCOD or how it is called in Austria "Schützenpanzer Ulan" and I wish it was in War Thunder but honestly don't have big hopes it will come any time soon.
The T-90 is so scary with those glowing red eyes. It uses "special detonation operation" to negate javelins and NLAWs by using its hull and the bodies of the crew to explode the missiles. Further, the turret can fly up to 50 yards in the sky once the "special detonation operation" begins. cool eyes tho.
@@NineSeptims NLAW i believe is completely pre programmed within the warhead so you cant really "jam" it using shtora, while the Javelin is fire and forget with its own inbuilt tracker making the shtora useless since theirs no connection to jam.
@@NineSeptims This is definitely not true, T-90s are over-represented in the number of tanks lost compared to what percentage they comprise in the Russian military. The NLAW uses a "predicted line of sight" system which means it's basically little better than dumbfire rockets with an adjustment for leading the target. Also note that really giant flaming caveat that the system is only effective within a 40 degree arc in front of the turret and inability to use dazzlers on the vertical arc. In the largely guerrilla-style warfare that is going on in Ukraine, many attacks come from rooftops or from alleyways or from the bushes on the side of the road at night, all coming from the sides, rear, or top of the tank, where its dazzler is ineffective. The javelin in top-attack mode, meanwhile, can also bypass the dazzler system if it arcs high before the dazzler can be trained on it. The smoke grenades, combined with moving the tank, can still be effective, but smoke systems require reloading, and multiple javelins fired at the same tank can overwhelm the tank's defenses. In fact, just Googling to check facts, it looks like the dazzler is far from foolproof even against weapons that it's specifically designed to suppress, like the TOW missile - www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2016/03/28/heres-what-an-advanced-russian-tank-looks-like-after-getting-hit-with-a-u-s-made-missile/ - that tank's crew was notably protected by the ERA, but the crew abandoned the tank after being hit, so it may be chalked up to bad crew discipline... which is also a problem with the Russian forces today.
MILAN was one of the missiles it shutora-1 was designed to seduce. The MILAN 3 version replaced the infrared flare at the base of the missile with an electronic beacon that is coded with a unique signal known only to the tracing receiver in the operators optics. So it probably doesn't work on the later Milan 3 (from 1996), HOT or Tow 2b missiles.
@@WraithMagus NLAW has an inertial guidance system. It can not be jammed. It is not dumb, it is very sophisticated. If firing at a stationary target up to 800m away the operator simply points the missile and shoots. Accelerometers measure the missiles acceleration very precisely in all 3 orthogonal directions. There is no need to estimate range as the missile compensates for gravity fall of an flies a straight line. If there is a gust of wind, rain etc the missile compensates and flies only a straight line. If the indirect top attack mode is chosen the missile ensures it flies 1m above the line of sight for the entire time doing all of the necessary computations. -If the target is moving the opperator tracks the target for 3 seconds. Say it is moving at 3 degrees per second. When fired the missile follows a curved path to make sure it flies through the predicted line of sight. It can't be jamned and it is very accurate so long as the operator has aimed correctly.
There's an easy way to fool these active protection systems. Use you range finder on an object wich is near the target (the tank), for example a tree, or a house. Launch the missile like if you where actually trying to blow the tree ^^. If you know its speed (ex : 260 m/s) and the distance, you can estimate the flight time it will need to reach its target. When you're 2~3 seconds from impact, steer the sightings on the tank, without losing the missile flare on your scope. Not knowing it was targeted, the tank won't have enough time to counter the attack. It's really effective (even in games like battlefield lol). BTW, we have this system too on French tanks =)
I always gave the example of TOW controlled by wires as proof of the uselessness of the Shtora. Thank you for the information that it, in principle, could protect the tank from this type of ATGM
@@ArmorCast obsolete by 1936 yet it somehow cripples the italian fleet at taranto disables the bismarck and is claimed to have sunk over 1 million tonnes of axis shipping over ww2 (tbf im not sure how true that is to be brutally honest) along with a load of other remarkable feats. I could ramble on about that grand old plane for hours
There was a calculation made, that the Russians would not be facing many top down ATGMs so they hedged against direct attack missiles. which would be the majority of the threat they would face. That was then, this is now.
Just FYI: IR Can be seen if you look at the emitter with a CCD Sensor, point your Digital Camera or Cell at it and you'll see the glow even if it might be faint. Try it with your TV remote, push any button while you point it at your cell's cam or webcam or any other CCD Sensor.

I still don't get how it works on TOW? Does it just jam the IR laser rangefinder? I don't get how IR energy can interfere with wire communication?
Problem is they don’t work against 99% of modern missiles.
There was a calculation made, that the Russians would not be facing many top down ATGMs so they hedged against direct attack missiles. which would be the majority of the threat they would face. That was then, this is now.

Just FYI:
IR Can be seen if you look at the emitter with a CCD Sensor, point your Digital Camera or Cell at it and you'll see the glow even if it might be faint.
Try it with your TV remote, push any button while you point it at your cell's cam or webcam or any other CCD Sensor.
