I don't think I'd like to be trying to provide close support to that if I was an infantry man.  It looks like it has enough ERA plastered all over it to make a very big hole in the ground if it all went off together...   :o

Being totally ignorant about all things AFV related, what's 'ERA' and why would it go off?

ERA = explosive reactive armour.

Explosive Reactive Armour Explained

Going off would involve one of the panels exploding to defeat an incoming round.  However, given only single plates/panels would go off, having more on the vehicle should be no more dangerous than just a small quantity.  Mind you, I don't think any troop would want to be too close to an ERA equipped tank under fire.

PR19_Kit:
VERY clever, thanks for the explanation.

Still got to be pretty loud inside the tank I bet!

GTX_Admin:
Better than a round entering... ;)
