In anticipation of Leopard-2, Russian tankers with handicraft increase their tanks. But it will not help

This is due to the fact that Russian (read - Soviet) tanks, which have a huge number of weakened zones compared to Western equipment, and have not been acquired in factory conditions by serial and high -quality modernization, which provides the necessary level of survival.

Thus, in the tank units of the T-72B3, additional modules of Dynamic Protection "Contact-5" are installed on the weakened zones, as well as on the area on the roof of the tower above the weapon mask and near the hatch of the mechanic-driver in the upper third of the frontal armored. The placement on the T-72B3 tanks is also noted, especially on the roof of dynamic relict-1.

That is, if the plant did not solve the problem of increasing protection, then the screwdriver for help? I would like to point out that the relict-1 is intended to protect the onboard sections. If you finish the topic with non-standard use of the relict-1 DZ, it can now be seen on the lower frontal detail of Russian tanks, similarly installed handicraft, almost in the field. At the same time, crews donate the protection of the sides.

The disadvantages of the frontal reservation of the T-72 tanks are known since their creation, but "big", "powerful" and "has no analogues in the world" of the Russian MIC of Russia cannot solve this problem. Because there is no comprehensive approach and technical, as well as technological opportunities. Also, on the T-72 tanks on the blocks of Dynamic Protection "Contact-5" on the sides of the tank tower now try to attach rubber "burdock", which installed blocks of DS "contact-1".

Yes, Kulibins try to increase the booking of the shoulder strap. Considering how massive the mass effect is such a handicraft "modernization" of Russian tanks, we can say that, without the opportunity to ensure the factory increase in the level of protection of the VTT, the command of the ROV made the command to raise it with handicraft. Well, the Russians are not afraid of meetings with the tanks of the Western sample, which are ahead of their antiques for generations, if not two or even more.
