BMP-3 4S24 NKDZ: Karkas (ERA) Revival

I have been thinking about how this would be implemented, and I don’t see it being done properly and realistically. The armour on any BMP/BMD/BTR is not thick enough do handle most ERA, so the ERA does the opposite of what it’s supposed to do.

No? Its ERA designed specifically for these sorts of light vehicles. The steel backing plate behind it is enough to make sure it does what its supposed to.

There’s steel plating behind the ERA to prevent it from injuring the crew. The plating is spaced from the vehicles hull. Also, the ERA is quite different than K-1/K-5 and was designed specifically for light vehicles. See the plating here:
