Nizh-1M – an explosive reactive armour complex, based on HKChPWSH elements. The complex provides tanks with reliable protection against RPG/SPG grenades (reduction of destructive capacity up to 90%), shaped charge and armour-piercing projectiles (up to 80%), unitary anti-tank guided missiles (up to 70%) and explosively formed penetrators (up to 40%).
Reactive armour is a type of vehicle armour used in protecting vehicles, especially modern tanks, against shaped charges and hardened kinetic energy penetrators. The most common type is explosive reactive armour (ERA), but variants include self-limiting explosive reactive armour (SLERA), non-energetic reactive armour (NERA), non-explosive ...
The ammunition may also be called semi-armor-piercing high-explosive incendiary (SAPHEI). [1] Typical of a modern HEIAP shell is the Raufoss Mk 211 [2] designed for weapons such as heavy machine guns and anti-materiel rifles. The primary purpose of these munitions is armor penetration with better beyond-armor effects. [3]
Armour-piercing ammunition (AP) is a type of projectile designed to penetrate armour protection, most often including naval armour, body armour, and vehicle armour. [ 1 ] The first, major application of armour-piercing projectiles was to defeat the thick armour carried on many warships and cause damage to their lightly armoured interiors.
By that period, the shiny armor plate was covered in dark paint and a canvas wrap covered their elaborate Napoleonic-style helmets. Their armor was meant to protect only against sabers and lances. The cavalry had to beware of rifles and machine guns, like the infantry soldiers, who at least had a trench to give them some protection. [citation ...
