The Russian BMP-3 with the installed dynamic protection significantly exceeds the level of protection of the U.S. BMP Bradley in the standard version. This was stated by the Stali Research Institute, speaking about the protection created for the infantry fighting vehicle.
In terms of protection, it [BMP-3 with dynamic protection] will not be inferior in anything. Bradley, if in the production version, is much weaker, no exaggeration. Bradley is not protected from a grenade, while this vehicle will be protected, among other things, from a shaped charge grenade - TASS quotes Evgeny Chistyakov, deputy head of the marketing department at the NII Stali JSC, as saying.
The NII Stali confirmed that this year the troops will receive a new set of dynamic protection for BMP-3, by the end of the year "troikas" will already be delivered in a new guise. As it is explained, the new DZ complex is omni-directional, allows to protect the vehicle from all sides from all existing monoblock RPGs and ATGMs with armor penetration up to 500 mm. In addition, the blocks also protect against small arms.
The new antitank complex is based on 4S24 dynamic protection elements (DPE), has a mass of 4.2 tons and can protect against monoblock shaped charge ammunition, monoblock RPGs, B-32 armor-piercing bullets, 23 mm armor-piercing incendiary tracer projectiles and 30 mm armor-piercing projectiles. The area of the BMP-3 hull side coverage by protection is 62%, hull forehead - 36%, turret - 70%.
