Another Russian innovation - heated canisister to mislead Javelin Note all around cope cage.

The Slat or Cage armor was designed as a cost effective way of adding additional stand off armor with low weight for defense from RPGs. I know Slat Armor only works against some RPG hits (some stats say less than 50% effective), but from what I know about ATGMs...it has little if any affect on them. An ATGM has a much larger, heavier projectile which has more kinetic energy. The Javelin is guided by the heat signature and not just a simple heat source so I'm not sure what that thing sticking out of the back of the tank is designed to accomplish.

Here's another take of the same idea.
They think it will confuse , "Heat seeking missiles?"
