Protection
The hull and turret of the 2S25 self-propelled anti-tank gun is of all-welded aluminum armour without a composite skin. The vehicle is constructed with the crew compartment at the front, turret and fighting compartment in the center and power pack at the rear. Through the frontal arc of 40° left and right the armour provides protection against attack from 23 mm weapons at 500 m and through the remainder of the vehicle against attack from 7.62 mm firearms.

Famous quotes containing the word protection:
“After so many historical illustrations of the evil effects of abandoning the policy of protection for that of a revenue tariff, we are again confronted by the suggestion that the principle of protection shall be eliminated from our tariff legislation. Have we not had enough of such experiments?”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“Guns have metamorphosed into cameras in this earnest comedy, the ecology safari, because nature has ceased to be what it always had been—what people needed protection from. Now nature tamed, endangered, mortal—needs to be protected from people.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Men speak of natural rights, but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
