The tank was reportedly destroyed by 155-mm remote anti-armor mine ammunition "RAAMS." The incident occurred during battles to liberate the settlement, as Ukraine continues to make gains in the region of Zaporizhzhia. The authenticity of the video could not be independently verified.

Russian Tank Equipped with Revolutionary Explosive Reactive Armor

A video released by the Russian Ministry of Defense shows a T-72B3 tank with a "cope cage" covered in Kontakt-1 explosive reactive armor bricks, designed to counter loitering munitions and drones. The ERA works to defend against attacks by armor-penetrating weapons by detonating on impact, disrupting the weapon's effects or destroying it outright. It is unclear if the Kontakt-1 bricks could make the cope cage more viable against top-attack capable anti-tank missiles. The evolution and proliferation of these screens has been ongoing, with work still ongoing to make them serve their intended purpose in a more robust manner.

New Russian Tank Design Features 'Cope Cage' and Explosive Reactive Armor

A video released by the Russian Ministry of Defense shows a T-72B3 tank with a metal screen, known as "cope cage," and an added layer of Kontakt-1 explosive reactive armor (ERA) bricks on top. The cope cage is a countermeasure against loitering munitions and drones, particularly the Turkish-made TB-2. The ERA works to defend against attacks by armor-penetrating weapons, such as high-explosive, armor-piercing rounds. It is unclear if the Kontakt-1 bricks could make the cope cage more viable against top-attack capable anti-tank missiles.
