What Is The Extra Protection That Ukrainian Abrams Tanks Get
About three months ago, Ukraine received 31 American M1A1 Abrams tanks. These tanks, initially lacking certain essential features to comply with export restrictions, are now undergoing enhancements to bolster their level of protection.
A U.S.-supplied M1A1 Abrams tank, now in service with Ukraine, seems to have been equipped with explosive reactive armor. Recent video footage and images show the tank's hull now featuring explosive-filled bricks, providing additional protection against incoming anti-tank rounds and other weaponry.
The visuals of this upgraded M1A1 surfaced on different social media platforms on January 14, 2024. However, there is currently no independent verification to confirm the exact location and date of the captured videos and images.
According to experts, the dynamic protection bricks are the first generation of Abrams Reactive Armor Tiles, known as ARAT.
From the available footage, it is evident that ARAT dynamic protection units have been installed on a tank's aprons, which typically cover the hull. Surprisingly, these protective elements were not observed in other critical areas like the front and side extensions of the turret or the front of the hull, although these areas are designed to accommodate such protection. This setup mirrors the configuration of American M1A1SA Abrams tanks, where reactive armor, like in their Ukrainian counterparts, is rarely found in areas other than the side aprons.
