The Kontakt-1 ERA (Explosive Reactive Armour) was a reactive armor developed in the Soviet Union in the late 1970s. The system was widely used on Soviet and later Russian main battle tanks such as the T-64, T-72, T-80, and T-90 during the Cold War and in conflicts of the 1980s and 1990s. Its combat debut was during the Lebanon War in 1982, and its use became commonplace in regions such as Afghanistan, Chechnya, and the Middle East. Kontakt-1 protected vehicles from penetration by modern shaped-charge munitions and anti-tank guided missiles, which significantly increased crew survivability.

Among modelers, accessory sets for reactive armor are highly appreciated, as they allow for a realistic representation of selected versions of combat vehicles from the Cold War era and later military conflicts.

The set does not include paints or glue – it is dedicated to intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level 3/5) due to the need for precise assembly and correct placement of components. Each part is designed to fit perfectly with 1/35 scale models.
