What is Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA)?

Reactive armour is a type of armour that responds by means of a small explosion in the opposite direction to the impact of an anti-tank munition to reduce the damage caused to the vehicle that it is fitted to.

After closely examining the Ukrainian war, Greek army seems to be looking for such solutions to protect Greek tanks and mechanized units from anti-tank munitions and missiles.
