China presented an active protection system for armored vehicles

According to the portal sina.com.cn, China's largest defense company, North Industries Corporation (Norinco), presented its new development - an active protection system for armored vehicles, reports "Warspot".

The system was named GL-5 and was installed on the VT4 tank, also known as MBT3000 during the presentation. The new system was shown at the Armor & Anti-armor exhibition, which Norinco Corporation is holding for foreign customers.

During the demonstration, the GL-5 system intercepted an anti-tank missile flying toward tank. According to the developers, the GL-5 consists of four launchers that provide circular protection, each of which contains 3 shells. The radar system of the system tracks objects within a radius of 100 m. If the object flies towards the tank, the system shoots two shells towards it, which destroy it with an air blast.

The first systems of active protection of tanks were developed in 1950 – 60-ies in the USSR at the Central Design Bureau No. 14. The first system called “Thrush” in the 1983 year was installed on the T-55A tank, but it never went into series. The first serial active defense system was the Israeli Trophy, developed in 2005 year to detect and destroy RPG missiles and shells fired at the tank. Today, active protection systems for armored vehicles have been developed in Israel, Russia, the USA, Turkey, and now in China.

If the Chinese begin to produce, then their army will be completely beautified. They have this good trait.

[Partyzan]

your shirt is closer to your body, and what will happen in the world is a mystery, so you have to be prepared for everything, ms and your own system for any cheaper

And generally lately, that not a week is a new military novelty among the Chinese.
And this is good. The United States is less likely to unleash the Last War.

Not at all a fact. The rearmament of the ground forces is not a priority for them. For example, almost half of the tank fleet is the modernized T-54.
They have no opponents on land, so this is most likely a development, primarily for export.
But if they need them, of course, they can quickly rearm. Production facilities allow.

[Maz]

Well done Chinese, if only they could not catch Indians because of the road

[just exp]

damn it, as if I wanted KAZ to remain only with us and with Israel (and even better only with us).
although there is hope that the Chinese KAZ will work only about ATGMs and RPGs, and not like Afghanistan and BOPs too.

[newcomer]

we would have to protect our tank fleet with an arena.

Yes, you my friend alarmist as I look! Are you only going to fight with the Chinese tanks? Lupanem all "Mace" one "Northwind." KAZ is needed only in local wars. In a serious slaughter of KAZ, it’s like a dead poultice.

But you must admit that most modern wars are local.

[newcomer]

In any case, protecting the tank is sacred. some say it is expensive (about 10/15 percent of the cost of the tank). apparently disregarding the lives of three crew members, plus the loss of the tank itself, this is apparently normal.

Comrade Aron Zaavi. Yes, I agree with you. Have you watched the Chinese for a long time in the winners and participants of local wars? Personally, I do not. Especially since China won somewhere. I have said many times that China will never be a superpower without military victories. I hint at the style of a monkey on a tree in Syria And so this is all Chinese tuftalogy.

It would be better to be a well-fed, healthy and rich monkey than to climb into any J. It would be advantageous to fight in Syria, they would have been there for a long time! But if we (the Russian Federation) are not particularly profitable, then China this Syria in general to the bulb.

[mvg]

1962 year. A major local conflict with India. For a clear advantage.
Do you really want China to intervene somewhere? Few will be to anyone.

Lupanem all "Mace" one "Northwind"

Strange, but we were taught that "with a mace" is only the beginning of the war, and not the end. Then another hollow and hollow, including a tank breakthrough of the front directly through the center of their own nuclear strike with access to the uninfected side, until they came to their senses and the reserve was tightened .Fools probably were, enti Soviet strategists, operatives and tactics.

Crazy! Are you there that the gods go to storm the planet taught? Nearly 100 warheads! Pour out of one "Northwind" Why did you learn to storm Jupiter?

Apparently, comrades were taught to attack the ETVD in the 80s. It was all sorts of nice tactics such as “one battalion defense area - one special ammunition”, as well as full WBN depots on both sides, up to nuclear mines and WBUs for SAM.

Justified the "damn beaten"!

[alexmach]

Well, not a mace but a tactical missile, such as Iskander with special warheads.

[igorj 51]

and not like Afganit and BOPS too.

And your “Afghanit” at least for something else worked at all ..? Especially in a real combat situation, unlike the Israeli "Trophy" ..?

[newcomer]

Afghanite will work on armata platforms.

"GL-5 ​​consists of four launchers providing circular protection,

Trophy has a slightly different layout: 4 radar along the edges of the tower and 2 launchers
on the sides of the tower.
Which is better is debatable.

And you do not compare with Trophy. In Chinese gravetsapa, legs grow from here:

Our KAZ Drozd "worked" when your Trophy and other Israeli crafts were not in the project.

[Antidote]

What is the use of projections and bravado if this is not the case on combat machines and whether it will be unknown at all? And the trophy is and works, unlike the "paper" thrush / arena / afghanite.

Well, the Tel Aviv regime wasn’t ruined like our USSR, besides, how many KAZs do they have 200 in all of Israel? And the remaining several thousand armored personnel carriers and several thousand tanks drive without any KAZ.

[Zaurbek]

And why did the “Drozd” stand only on the T-62? But on more modern ones it wasn’t? T-64/72/80/90?

[Zaurbek]

and, by the way, there are T-62s with "eyebrows" in Syria, but not with Drozd!

[alexmach]

The affected area is 20% in height. But what about all kinds of Spike-Javelins?

[APASUS]

I think soon KAZ will find how to get around. In a tandem salvo, a dummy dummy, a jump in front of a target into the roof. Another thing is that while not everyone has KAZ yet, this topic is relevant today.

[brr1]

RPG-30 created just for this

[Muvka]

So chrysanthemums and tigers with birds are designed for this. Volleys of 2 missiles. The first discharges the kaz, the second flies several meters behind and hits.

[brr1]

A lot of expensive ammunition turns out to be purposefully sent to the furnace

[RL]

old joke:
“Due to the fact that three small groups of Ussuri tigers, from two to three individuals in each, moved from the Russian side of the border to China, China decided to send three small groups of its soldiers in numbers from two to three to help Russian foresters millions of people in each, so that they drove the tigers to the Urals "

[Albert1988]

After which the connection with them was lost for a long time and was restored only after all the sent tiger droppers got settled to trade in the markets in central Russia)))))

[Alexey-74]

Slowly, all countries will install KAZ on their main battle tanks, time is demanding, there is development, there remains only a difference in the quality of the KAZ

[LAWNER]

Citizens !!! I can’t stand tankers !!! Their boxes, garages, roads were always lower than air defense .... I filled the road to the Maz after a storm for 4-6 hours on slopes. They drove their turn, turned around in place. They began to make “stretch marks” from oil paint. Damage is zero, but they are washed. We are tormented. They stopped coming to us ...
What led ????
Blind tank, sensors are not active ... Real defense, works against a point target with a certain (different) speed ..... A shell from Solntsepek with aerosol spraying or other types of weapons with ammunition, including with the forbidden "phosphorus" first hit next to purpose, makes from any tank --- the usual barrel artillery. It just burns out the optics. Then I do not continue ... I’m waiting for the skeptics
