If these measurements are correct then definitely no if you hit the ERA covered place

Fun thing about Relict and Kontakt-5 ERA
In fact, the Relict is the K-5, in which the breezability and sensitivity were slightly increased, which increased the chance of triggering on APFSDS. However, it has not been tested against thin western APFSDS as well as the K-5.
It is not clear why Relict became “so much more effective” than the K-5, except for dry text from the Research Institute of Steel I have not seen any proofs of this claims, not even photos from firings.
IRL Relict doesn’t show very good results. It works against non-tandem HEAT rounds as any other ERA does, but it has bad things like exploding all sockets for ERA if one socket is hit, same goes for Kontakt-5
Now it appeared yesterday in official War Thunder twitter video about sight customization system. So let’s wait for proper introduction dev blog I think.
Ukrainian T-72A modified by KhKBM spotted in USA during “Northern Strike 24” event

Military intelligence soldiers assigned to the 203rd Military Intelligence Battalion (Technical Intelligence), Military Intelligence Readiness Command, exploit a T-72 tank during a training mission at Camp Grayling, Michigan, Aug. 11, 2024.
Modification specifics from Btvt:
The tank is not fully outfitted - there are no emission indicators and searchlights OTSHU-1-7 and modulators (“Shtora”) on the turret. The vehicle also differs from the modification known as the T-72A(M)G by having a commander’s turret with an open-type gun turret, as on the T-72. The Kharkiv upgrades had a turret similar to the T-80UD with “Agat” and stabilization.
