"Varta" is the Ukrainian version of Russian "Shtora". Its simply IR lights installed in front of the tank:
1) It exposes tank to all IR and thermal vision systems (its like driving with turned on lights at night).
2) It protects only against the certain kind of very old ATGMs.
3) It protects only front, not 360 grad.
So pretty useless system. Thats why Indians rejected it for their T-90S. I dont see its installed on any operational Al Khalids either.
