'barrier, screen, covering operation'; is often referred to with the Russian word Zaslon) is being developed by Microtek in cooperation with other military design organizations.

Each counter-measure module packs two explosive charges, which are ejected toward the target before detonating and forming a dense fragmentation ring that destroys incoming projectiles on impact.

Depending on the protection level required, the system adds from 50 to 130 kilograms (110 to 290 lb) per module.

The AP's mission capability has been proven for armor-piercing projectiles and small-caliber gun shells.

The Light AP Zaslin will comprise a system of nonrecoverable, detachable modules of various kinds, with two accommodated on the vehicle's upper forebody and as many on its sides (in its integrated configuration).
