K1 not K5.
I think i saw tablet with number that showed 1 nizh element has 200 grams of explosives and picture that whole piece have 7 of them if picture was right one era pieve should have around 1.2 kg of explosives material.
Well that’s the question what is better the best protection or affordable one.
Meanwhile 5.45 and nizh
VErY sTaBLe
2s23 relikt
Well it looks some what stable since it didn’t go off after bullet hit it.
You said that i was wrong about K5 but i was talking about K1.
I talked to the other person
You can look up bulat total destruction from era yourself it’s widely known photo.
What I’m trying to convey is nizh duplet lost competition to k5 relikt before the dissolution of the USSR. It’s soviet originating.
But since Ukraine couldn’t produce k1k5 they’re stuck with what came to be nizh
It’s not because the tank can stop orbital cannon with era
Can you provide the link please? From simple search there are a lot of different Bulats being destroyed, but most of them are being destroyed by rolling on land mines and then being taken out by drones (like any other tank nowadays in fact) or being shot at with ATGMs/large calibre HE shells.
I won’t the| mods will delete my posts
Just DM me it
Any heavy ERA has a chance for chain reaction, that’s one of the reasons it didn’t receive wide spread adoption. To some degree it depends on what it is being triggered with, tank HEAT rounds are usually more destructive for ERA than portable AT weapons.
Is there any evidence for Nizh being competor for K5 or rumors? Soviets tested many types of ERA, but from what I can remember there were no examples of both same type and composition.
That’s the one I legit talked about.
From different angle (there is a photo), the tank rolled on the mine, and the rest was done via other means (ATGM what it appears to be).
Prove me wrong but frontal hull and turret right side ERA looks in tact as well (I don’t see any being fused there)
EDIT: actually no, front hull ERA has detonated, I mistaken UFP with blocks.
But again, there is no video stating ERA itself nuked the tank, and as if there were no other means engaged in taking it out from the battle (aside of mine it rolled on)
Wrong, proper era is designed to avoid chain reaction. If it does it’s faulty and dangerous to tank itself.
The soviet predecessor to nuzh is called гофр and was copeting with k5. It got shafted and considered dead end
Oh and do you have saved video of the thing?
From this photo it looks like it got hit by something and didnt go off.
It looks like it did go off. What I’d like to see is the whole picture.
Because from this photo you can tell the element that was shot at fused, but aside of that, you only see the lower part of the box of the insert.
I also wonder how it is even more or less solid, becuase if it indeed set off with full power, the element would be shattered into smithereens, leaving nothing behind essentially.
If it did go off this whole copper thing would’ve melted or shattered. The fact it only bent and have a bullethole means ERA didn’t go off.
The only bend you see on photo is from bullet itself.
Upon further checking, the side ERA only intervenes against the rod’s trajectory at angles of 65 degrees or higher, whereas Relict becomes effective at a much earlier angle of 35 degrees. This results in the APFSDS rounds that penetrate Relict causing less damage than those hitting the Oplot’s base side armor, even though basic Relict ( without additional era packages)has a lower rated KE protection value. These two ERA types work differently, but I didn’t expect the difference in their effectiveness to be so pronounced.
The bullet itself only leaves a hole
And this isn’t a bullet hole or “bend” either
What is with this cope, it s clear it activated in some fashion from only 5.45.
Whatever this is it doesnt matter. If ERA was activated this copper thing wouldhe been blown to pieces.
