The T-72 fitted with urban warfare kit is fitted with additional modular explosive reactive armour on each side of the hull and also at the front of the turret to increase protection against portable anti-tank rockets, the rear side is fitted with armour cage or slat armour especially designed to protect the tank against anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attacks.
