The Zaslin active protection system (Ukrainian: Заслі́н, romanized: Zaslin, lit. '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. The system is designed to protect stationary or mobile targets from anti-tank weapons with flat or diving trajectories using various types of guidance systems and warheads. Unlike the existing Russian-designed active protection systems Drozd and Arena, Zaslin can be deployed alongside reactive armour placed in the turret area,^[1] which is vulnerable to anti-tank projectiles traveling at speeds up to 1,200 metres per second (3,900 ft/s)
