Russian tankers immediately set out to test the ‘new’ invention

Russian tankers immediately set out to test the ‘new’ invention.

ERA Box of the "Kontakt-1" type, insert in it:
2-mm steel / 6mm organic glass / 2mm steel.

As they write to us: “As it should be, installation in the K-1 box of 2 plates through a spacer”.

Behind the ERA box, with the insert, were:
ERA box from the Relikt system with made of 17-20mm steel + 5-7mm structural metal and wood.

The experiment used a PG-7S grenade with armor penetration of 400 mm.

Brief summary of the experiment:
“The internal slabs bulged, but this was not enough to completely disperse the cumulative jet.”

When testing "Kontakt-1" with standard 2X4S20 ERA, "complete dispersion of the cumulative jet" is also not always ensured. But, of course, it can be seen that organic glass is far from being a substitute for ERA.

Due to the nature of the fiel experiment is also impossible to claim that the value of the reduction in armor penetration is less than 71% as the papper claimed
