The triangular ERA on the turret is Relikt, but I'm not sure about the armour on the glacisOriginally Posted by TR1
The triangular armour on the T-90A is in fact K-5.

They look similar, but the Relikt has a better bit, with less gaps and looks more like one solid block than a series of blocks.

all who don't know how T-90A is different from other versions visualy, take a look at void's given photo:
Bellow you can see T-90 with old turret, while upper is T-90A, with welded turret(if you still don't get it, look at area between K-5 reactive armor blocks and smoke dispencers).
also look at the distances, of backward shtora laser scanners are placed(how far they are from smoke dispencers in upper T-90A).
What is odnoklassniki ?
Russian analog for classmates.com
Wrong.
The outside shape of the modules don't really matter...
The K-5 has been replaced by Relikt for the past 2-3 years....I think since 2006. The outside modules are the same, but the elements inside are different.
At RUSSIAN EXPO ARMS 2006 exhibition held in Nizhniy Tagil on July 11-15 a new multi-purpose ERA package made by NII Stali was demonstrated on an upgraded T-72B tank (Sling-shot).
The new ERA package is almost twice as effective as Contact-V ERA system.
It is called multi-purpose not only because it defeats both HEAT-warhead and KE ammunition, but also because it is made as a number of separate modules, which makes it possible to fit the package to any tank types using standard modules and attachment fittings.

It is desinformation.
The outside shape of the modules do really and critically matter. T-90A are equiped with K-5 ERA, not Relict
I stand corrected then. You're the authority on Russian tanks.
Do you have any more info on the Relikt?
The basis of improved protection of Relict is possibility to trough the back plate backwards.
You can notice that the modules are placed with space between them and armor - http://btvt.narod.ru/1/armor_72_80_84/10-11.jpg
Relikt wa sso far only displayed on T-72 Rogatka and the similar T-80 Upgrade.

BMPT was designed with Relict right away. Don't know if it's going into service though.
it is more certainly not. Check out BTVT, otvaga, Vasily Fofonovs site. All of these respectable sources say it is K-5.
edit, Hark beat me to it.
