In order to obtain a protective device (1), in particular for armored vehicles, which is of simple construction and ensures adequate protection against projectile-forming mines and against ballistic projectiles, the invention proposes to construct the protective device (1) from at least two metal plates ( 2, 3) of a high-strength material, which are frictionally connected only in the edge region and otherwise rest with no gap loosely against each other, so that both metal plates (2, 3) are deformed under load from mines or shelling largely independently. In addition, the protective device (1) is preferably arranged inclined at an inclination angle between 40 ° and 50 ° relative to the vertical vehicle axis. |
