Updates in light of Ukraine war

[DRG]

What we ( I ) had assumed was modernized T-72's had ERA on the hull sides but it increasingly seems that they do not and the frustrating part is much of the type of info we need is rarely easily available

There is NO era on that rear hull


There is a bulk area here that *MIGHT" conceal ERA blocks



but putting reactive armour behind rubber matting like that would direct some of the force back to the vehicle if the block was hit


I don't think there is ANY ERA on the hull sides

It may have been tried early on



But does not seem to be the case now along with any increase in steel hull side armour over time

Still digging for more info
