In this work the examples of protection of light fighting vehicles armoured with additional reactive armours are described. The way of protection of light fighting vehicles with the use of compositereactive armours against penetration with HEAT projectiles (with penetration ability of 300 mm RHA) and against armour-piercing bullets of small calibre (up to 14.5 mm) are shown on the example of BWP-1. Technical parameters of the CERAWA-1 armour, the kind of its assembly on BWP-1 and the results of firing of thin RHA armour (protected by the CERAWA-1 armour) with the use of PG-7 shape charge projectile are presented. There are also the results of static tests of three variants of reactivepassive panels against PG-7 projectiles’ perforation.
