An armored vehicle, especially combat vehicle, having an outer wall (1)
in which is disposed an air inlet opening (2) behind which a radiator is
positioned in the interior of the vehicle. To produce a ballistic protective device
at the air inlet opening, there is disposed in the interior of the vehicle, in
the region between radiator and air inlet opening (2), a base plate (5),
and the intermediate spaces between the outer edges of the base plate (5)
and the inner edges of the air inlet opening (2) are closed off by cover
plates (4.2, 4.3). The base plate (5) is provided in the central
portion with an air passage below which the radiator is positioned. Above the base
plate (5), essentially in the plane of the outer wall (1), a protective
plate (7) is disposed and dimensioned such that an annular air passage slot
is provided between its outer edges and the inner edges of the air inlet opening (2).
