What kind of projectile does PULAT use? Explosive like Afganit or pellets like Trophy?IDEF 2019: FNSS displays for the first time Kaplan medium tank fitted with PULAT APS

Looking at this PULAT APS tests video looks like explosive. I could be wrong though.
Hmm..too unclear of a footage to make sure.
Speaking of the camo uniform discussion few days ago, i think it's all answered in the Andika's video, Andika and the soldiers all wears the new NKRI camo, in the Army's HQ, pretty much "confirmed" that the standardization of NKRI camo is indeed a part of Andika's agenda as the Army Chief of Staff.
Reminds of ERA, the principle is very similar, so what's the key difference between them? how PULAT works as an APS and not ERA?
ERA just sits there waiting for the beating. APS actively SEEKS the incoming projectile.
Ok i get it, and i agree with the fact that the modules add to the hull's width, it kinda eliminate the advantage of the MT's smaller stature and the PULAT looks like a fragile target. The Turks have other APS from Akkor that functions like the Trophy, with launchers in several points on the tank that could fire grenades that will detonates near the incoming projectile, i think this kind of APS is overall better than the PULAT module, so why wont we just pick that one instead? Well, PULAT is still an APS, so at least there's some improvement lol.
