The hereby work describes the examples of protection of light fighting vehicles armoured with additional reactive armours. The way of protecting of light fighting vehicles with the use of composite-reactive armours against penetration with HEAT projectiles (with a penetration ability of 300 mm RHA) and against small calibre (up to 14,5 mm) armour-piercing bullets are shown on the example of the BWP-1.Technical parameters of the CERAWA-1 armour and the its assembly on BWP-1 are presented. The hereby work also presents the results of static tests of several variants of reactive-passive panels of light fighting vehicles against PG-7 projectiles' perforation at the angle of 60° and 72° from normal to the cassette surface. Depending on the surface mass of the light reactive-passive armour panels, different levels of damage to the armour witness plate were achieved.
