许多现代主战坦克都装有反应装甲,用以补充其基本装甲防护能力的不足。当装甲车辆被空心装药弹或硬芯弹击中时,这种装甲既可保护乘员,又可提高战斗车辆的生存能力。由此看来,反应装甲对于提高主战坦克的战斗性能和在战场上的持续作战能力有一定作用。为此,一些老式坦克也以较低的成本安装了反应装甲。 Many modern main battle tanks are equipped with reactive armor to supplement their lack of basic armor protection. When an armored vehicle is hit by a hollow charge or a hard-core projectile, such armor can both protect the occupant and enhance the survivability of the combat vehicle. Seen in this light, reactive armor can improve the fighting performance of the main battle tank and the continuous combat capability on the battlefield. To this end, some older tanks also installed reactive armor at a lower cost.
