The Russian Army adopted 3VD35 ammunition to protect precision weapon armored vehicles with laser, optical and thermal guidance systems. When a threat arises, the 3VD35 protection ammunition is fired in the direction of the enemy's attack and creates a curtain of aerosol interference that “trick” systems enemy precision ammo guide.
Developed by whom and for what?
The new aerosol ammunition was manufactured by the Central Research Institute of Precision Engineering (TsNIItochmash) of the State Corporation Rostec. It was developed specifically for ground forces by specialists from the Institute of Applied Physics in Novosibirsk. The Novosibirsk Institute of Applied Physics is the only company in the country engaged in the protection of warships against high-precision anti-ship missiles. It was in Novosibirsk that a recipe for a mixture was developed that completely neutralizes the ability of the most intelligent sighting heads to aim at targets. Ships shooting rainbow-colored clouds have long since become commonplace in all naval parades, as have planes shooting heat traps.
The citizens of Novosibirsk proactively developed and offered land forces protective ammunition tailored to their needs, long used in the navy and considered to be the best in the world in terms of effectiveness. & Nbsp;
How does it work?
The main task of ammunition & ndash; protection against attack in the most vulnerable upper hemisphere, which has a lower armor thickness and, as a rule, is not covered with dynamic or anti-cumulative protection. In fact, the aerosol makes the tank invisible to the rocket, causing it to fall off the target due to the presence of light and heat reflecting particles. Previously, ships were simply shrouded in fog to make them invisible to people – now you need to think about protection from automatic guidance, and Russian engineers coped with this task.
The product is designed to protect equipment against high precision weapons with laser, optical and thermal guidance systems. The development covers both high-precision aircraft weapons, stray munitions, and third-generation anti-tank missile systems. Our armored vehicles, according to the developers, when installing such protection on the armor, would become invulnerable to high-precision and very expensive homing missiles, such as the American Javelin and the American Javelin and the American Javelin and the very expensive homing missiles. AGM-114 Hellfire, from which it seems impossible to escape.
Characteristics
The caliber of the ammunition is 76 mm. Length & ndash; 290 millimeters. Weight & ndash; 1.8kg. The temperature range of the use of ammunition & ndash; from minus 50 to plus 55 degrees. Judging by the fact that foreign partners have shown interest in development, ammunition has export potential.
