The two variants are also protected by Kontakt-5 modular reactive armour, able to resist to kinetic energy projectiles, as opposed to the first models which were efficient only against HEAT shaped-charge ammunition.
Dua varian ini juga dilindungi oleh zirah reaktif modular Kontakt-5, bisa menahan proyektil energi kinetik, berlawanan dengan model pertama yang hanya efisien melawan amunisi berubah bentuk-peledak HEAT.
