            Considering that every export and upgrade version they show of it has them removed, I doubt it.

    Gonna be cool when hastily trained mobik BMP crews just park their shit cuz they think slat armor makes them invulnerable to RPGs and ATGMs.

      The real reason is for attaching extra supplies like food and water, sort of like molle grid on a plate carrier.

      Notice how these grids are empty? Russia is facing a shortage of basic goods.

    Man I still remember the BMP-3M being shilled as if it were the next coming of Christ in terms of IFVs, and yet I don't think I've seen one to date and this is the first time I see them actually use the fricking slat package.

    A kit for the BMP-2 also exists.

    As a nogunz tourist, I have to ask;
    Would the slat armor help against direct trajectory ATGMs, like the Stugna-P? Or is it only useful against RPGs and other such portable infantry AT weapons?
    In fact, would it even help against those? Would it stop a Carl Gustav?

      It stops HEAT, but wont do shit to shaped charges unless it gets hit on a weird angle. best protection is to not get hit by anything

        Third best protection. Not being seen and not being there are above.

      Slat armor is supposed to let the fuse pass through the gap so the slats can mangle the warhead out of shape, the copper liner needs to be a certain shape for the shaped charge effect to work properly, or alternatively to crush the fuse and break it off from the warhead to prevent it from detonating entirely. If the missile successfully detonates off the slat armor (it's safe to assume this applies to most modern big boy ATGMs) it just has to travel through an extra few inches of air which doesn't do shit to its penetration capabilities, and top attack missiles just avoid the issue entirely.

      It stops HEAT, but wont do shit to shaped charges unless it gets hit on a weird angle. best protection is to not get hit by anything

      HEAT means it's a shaped charge by definition.

      ziggers getting so mad at their most modern IFVs being mocked that they post some 144p video of some 1960's aluminium box getting bonked. Insallah you will get drafted and drive a bmp-1 into a minefield
