T-90 and T 80 Protection Trials 1999
Test results
RPG-29 proved to be by far the most potent weapon among those used. As powerful as heavy ATGM Kornet, it appeared to assure the frontal penetration of T-80U even for the squad-level firepower. Even though T-90 fared better, it is still not immune to it. Considering sufficient proliferation of this weapon and the fact that this is still a fairly light infantry weapon, it is the most dangerous adversary of modern Russian MBTs, and is a very disturbing development.
Original reports that ATGM Kornet performance is severely degraded by ERA due to its peculiar order of internal components proved true as the ATGM with at least 100mm higher penetrating potential was not superior to a much lighter RPG-29.
Report of Shtora-1 EOCMDAS trials is confusing. Being laser-guided, ATGM Kornet should not suffer any interference from Shtora as it only affects IR SACLOS ATGMs. Furthermore, ATGMs can only deviate to the left if the marker is set to the left of both emitters, which is hardly likely. It is possible, however unlikely, that it was caused by a sloppy work of removal the warhead which e.g. could cause a gyro cofusion.

Shtora-1 Trials
10 Kornet ATGMs with removed warheads were fired at a tank with a crew. 4 ATGMs hit the tank, the other 6 deviated to the left of the target in the middle of the flight.

(Please note that IA did not purchased Shtora for its inital orders even at present we dont know the status of the sytsem for new orders).

Kanchan armour test results pic
Kanchan armour (Arjun Tank) test results
(If any of the member find this objectionable for security reasons please feel free to contact me and i will remove the same).
Kanchan armour was develop for Arjun tank and this gives Arjun tank protection, which was never seen by the Indian Tank Crew. I visited Defexpo 2008 and i have pleasure of seeing and even allowed to measure the armour at the tank wheels. This picture was taken from you tube video of Kashsoldier.
