It wasn't required at any point to resist RPG-29. Which regardless of ERA type, would still require some minimal base armor that it lacks. You and I both know ERA never really fully stops HEAT. But this is why they're going for an APS.<br /><br />What I meant mostly is that the SidePRO-RPG is designed solely around defeating single stage warheads. While an ERA kit such as ASPRO-R/H (depending on chosen variant as they're whole families) could at least damage the main warhead.

Still the M2 Bradley is considered well armoured for an IFV. <br /><br />It is just no possible to defeat tandem charge warhead without going for a heavier weight. This is why SidePRO-RPG IMO should be considered an alternative to light ERA systems, which lack the multi-hit capability of SidePRO-RPG.m.m.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04128979980083950538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680821082869261047.post-74396725366878685542016-11-19T01:25:10.610-08:002016-11-19T01:25:10.610-08:00Sadly, this concept is getting increasingly obsole...Sadly, this concept is getting increasingly obsolete for this purpose despite its young age.<br />Terrorist groups have access to far more capable threats today, and in large numbers as well.<br />This includes RPG-7VR, RPG-29, and ATGMs. <br /><br />I don't think there's really a market now for the SidePRO-RPG when it only protects against a minority of the threats.Mighty_Zukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06253016268815776129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680821082869261047.post-38465051320160991532016-11-19T00:26:09.240-08:002016-11-19T00:26:09.240-08:00Wow... this SidePRO-RPG aren't bad at all.
