Protection against sticky-bombs and other magnetic " limpet" type explosives plus a certain amount of protection against armour piercing shell of the "scabbing" type. The ones that dont really go through the metal-plate but send a scab of molten metal off the interior wall into the crew compartment or other vulnerable part of the tank. Think of the last ball in a row of billiard balls being struck. Last one is the scab.
