Rostec creates new ammunition for protection from high-precision weapons.

Russian company Rostec announced that its Central Scientific-Research Institute for Precision Machine Engineering (TsNIITochMash) created new ammunition for protecting armored vehicles from high-precision weapons. When a threat arises, the protective ammunition is fired in the danger’s direction and creates aerosol and dipole chaff that makes an enemy’s high-precision weapon guidance system “blind”.

 The new 76mm-caliber protective ammunition weighs 2.8 kg. Its main feature is the density of combined curtain protecting from weapons with laser, optical, heat and radio guidance system, which is 1.5 times higher compared to analogs.“The ammunition can be used as part of defensive weapons with existing and future armored vehicles in any climate. This ammunition will be unveiled at the Army-2021 defense forum and state tests are to be completed this year.

TsNIITochMash has developed several generations of protection means from high-precision weapons. The enterprise has created means of protection for PRP-4A Argus artillery reconnaissance vehicle, Uragan-1M multiple rocket launcher system, and other military vehicles.
