		shtora has sensors and warners and is connected to the fcs and the smoke grenade launchers.
		Beyond Shtora having just sensors, it also has an active defense system, meaning that when it detects a projectile coming toward it, it fires projectiles (60 mm I think) to get in the way.
		shtora is a soft kill system and does not include any grenades that attack the incomming round.

	Shtora-1 EOCMDAS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The flare is used to keep a 'reference point' of the missile in relationship to the target lock held by the operator, and the guidance computer tries to put the flare on the reference point.
		Shtora emitters create a large hotspot, essentially tricking the missile guidance into following the Shtora hotspot instead of the flare hotspot, resulting in faulty course corrections by the ATGW computer.
		When a laser beam is detected the Shtora informs the crew with light and sound; it then launches laser defeating smoke grenades, which enshroud the tank and break or degrade the lock.

	Anti-tank guided missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Top-attack weapons are designed to focus the explosion down through an AFV's thinner top armour.
		Countermeasures against ATGMs include spaced, perforated, and composite armour, explosive reactive armour (ERA), jammers like the Russian Shtora, and active protection systems (APS) like Drozd and Arena.
		Anti-tank weapons like Bazookas and RPGs are not considered ATGMs since they don't have any guidance system.

	T-90 Main Battle Tank
		This close up of the turret of the T-90, shows the IR lights which are components of the SHTORA protection system.
		The T-90 mounts two infra-red searchlights on either side of the main armament; these are part of the Shtora ATGM defense system.
		This high level of protection is supplanted with the SHTORA TShU-1-7 IR-Jamming system, which is designed to disrupt the guidance of incoming ATGMs.

		And as soon as the enemy invents a "Shtora 2" to improve soft or hard kill of incoming missiles, the entire investment becomes worthless.
		Missiles are a good addition to the general weapons portfolio of a mechanized or combined arms force, but the idea of combined arms is quite the opposite to relying on a single platform that can defeat all others.
		ARENA, Shtora, and Drozd are the pioneers of a new active defense philosophy.

		The Shtora has two modes: it works against IR guided ATGMs, by aligning the turret front to the incoming ATGM and using IR emitters to send false signals which scramble the ATGM guidance system.
		Secondly - against laser guided weapons - when a laser beam is detected the Shtora informs the crew with light and sound; it then launches laser defeating smoke grenades, which enshroud the tank and break or degrade the lock.
		Then there’s the active stuff like the radar driven 1030M Drozd APS (which uses small rockets [each producing the stream of fragments that destroys the incoming projectile] placed in fixed silos to both sides of the turret to defeat incoming ATGMs) and is in current service.

		There is also a command variant (T-80UK) is equipped with the Shtora system.
		When displayed in public for the first time, "Bars" did not carry Kontakt-5 reactive armor tiles on its turret, and it may be that the Arena system (with fragmentation charge launchers arranged in a semicircle around the turret front) precludes mounting reactive armor.
		This tank is the first tangible result of former Defense Minister Grachev's order to redesign ammunition storage in Russian MBT's after their vulnerability to ammunition fires was demonstrated during the Chechen conflict and (belatedly) confirmed in live fire survivability tests of Russian tanks at Kubinka Proving Ground.

		The best known active defense mechanism is the "Shtora", standart issue on the russian T-90.
		The "Shtora" consists of a IR/laser detector/jammer that detects when the tank is being tracked or locked by an enemy IR or laser guided missile.
		The "Shtora" system then launched a volley of defensive hallogen (I think) grenades.

		This will be in addition to a Russian system that allows it to be able to launch projectiles(at the tank's sides that are basically mini-rockets) at incoming missiles and jam the guidance systems automatically (it is part of the revolutionary Shtora Russian tank system that the Us has been trying to get for the M1A2s).
		The Merkava 4 can also fire the Lahat missile from its main gun (and by the way the Lahat can not only be fired at opposing tanks, but also at projectiles fired from enemy tanks/attack helicopters, meaning that it can literally fire a hellfire missile out of the sky.
		This is just in case the Shtora system has not already taken care of the threat already).

	"Drozd active protection" [Archive] - Trackpads Community
		The Shtora optronic countermeasures system, designed to jam an enemy's means of sighting and accurately aiming at a target using anti-tank projectiles.
		Shtora is a standard feature on T-90 tanks.
		The drozd use a Radar to detect missiles and have a some kind of frag ammunition the destroy the incoming treats.

		Shtora-1 countermeasures create a large hotspot, tricking the missile guidance into following the Shtora hotspot instead of the flare hotspot, resulting in faulty course corrections by the guidance system, causing it to miss the target.
		The second part of the system defeats laser guided weapons, and this is very simple.
		When a laser beam is detected the Shtora alerts the crew, and then launches 81mm thermal instant smoke grenades, creating a screen 50-80 meters from the tank.

	Rediff On The NeT: Army to buy T-90s despite 'minor' problems
		A major improvement over the T-72S is the T-90's Shtora optronic jamming system.
		The Shtora has optronic infra-red illuminators that produce spurious coded pulse signals to jam the guidance of enemy ATGWs.
		But the T-90S, which was first exhibited in 1994, is yet to be seen in action.

	PakDef Forums - Possible outcome of a duel of an Indian T-90S tank and a Pakistani T-84 tank
		It is necessary to bear in mind that the Kombat has no weight and dimensions reserves for upgrading aimed at explosion of the preliminary charge before its contact with the armor, which would enable the missile to pierce ERA of modern design.
		The best method to outrun a competitor on the world armament market is to obtain and publish compromising information about the rival's armament mode.
		In this case it is necessary to rely on the Shtora and Arena systems, which have not been tested in real combat operations yet.

	T-90
		The successor to T-72BM, the T-90 uses the gun and 1G46 gunner sights from T-80U, a new engine, and thermal sights.
		Protective measures include Kontakt-5 ERA, laser warning receivers, and the SHTORA infrared ATGM jamming system.
		By 1992 the Russian Defense Ministry announced that it could no longer afford to manufacture two MBTs in parallel.

		On test zone, after T-90 prototype was hit with six heavy shells from 200 meter distance, T-90 continued moving and remained fully functional!
		T-90 defence system "Shtora" hits 90-99% of incoming guided missiles.
		On test zones, it took 54 seconds for T-90 to destroy seven real armored targets (1500-2500 meters distance) with seven shots on speed of 25 kph, and after that tank commander took control and destroyed 4 more targets!

		Tests made showed that it took 6 directs hit from the 120mm Rheinmetall Cannon used in the M1A2, Leopard II and Leclerc to damage the main Armor.
		The tank is protected against a range of threats, including air launched precision guided missiles and advanced top attack anti-tank weapons by means of the ARENA Active Protection System and the SHTORA Optronic Jamming device.
		The underside of the hull has been fitted with additional armour protection against mines.

		Where americans are putting more uranium and armor - russians are pressing small size, speed, manuever and dynamic protection.
		Imho, T-95 will have a full arsenal of dynamic protection: Arena, Shtora, Kontakt-5 ERA etc.

		But as we were in a mood for excursions, we went by a longer and roundabout route.
		We had a delightful ride across the Anti-Lebanon, and then we went by way of Shtora across a mountain called Jebel Báruk, and then a long scramble of six hours led us to the village of Báruk, a Druze stronghold in a wild glen on the borders of the Druze territory.
