Folding anti -rock protection for tanks and other armored vehicles, which Ukrainian military is unofficially called “hood”, demonstrates high efficiency on the battlefield. This is confirmed by the fact that after Russian Federation This design decided to copy China.
About it reports Defense Express, referring to patent registration protection Dragon Shield Chinese company Intelligence Equipment.
General concept Chinese The protection remains the same: it is a soft protective mesh designed to neutralize the blows of drones-Kamikadze. It is mounted on a special mechanism that can be folded, firmly fitting to the housing, or decomposing, completely covering the tower from above.
However, the Chinese version has its own modernization compared to the original Ukrainian system:
-
Complex design: the Chinese chose a more complex structure with guides moving during assembly or decomposition, for full covering of the tower. Ukrainian systems are much simpler, using only a few beams or spokes.
-
Automation: Dragon Shield has motors for automatic deployment. This allows the crew to prepare combat equipment for actions without leaving the armored vehicle.
Defense Express notes that such automation creates new risks. If the mechanism fails or damages, the protective structure can turn into a trap that will complicate the rapid evacuation of the crew after damage.
The publication emphasizes that the very fact of developing such an idea indicates that China actively monitors the trends on the battlefield and tries to create appropriate military decisions.
Meanwhile, China is rapidly increasing the use of workpiece robots, ahead of all other countries combined. According to the latest data, more than two million industrial robots operate in China, and almost 300,000 new ones have been installed last year alone. That’s more than in the rest of the world together. For comparison, only 34,000 robots were installed in the United States over the same period.
China rapidly increases space military capabilities, posing a major threat to the US in space.
