There's no set answer for that question. A vehicle like the M-113 Armored Personell Carrier has aluminum armor in it's original form. Then it had more modern forms of armor. The British Challenger tank has something called Chobham armor, which is quite frankly of unknown composition. Same thing applies to our M1A1 and M1A2 main battle tanks. It's quite simply a secret, although it's believe to contain a honeycomb with ceramic layers and some reactive element. That means the armor has explosive plates on it which explode when a projectile is sensed near it. This protects the armor underneath from the projectile.

How many captured allied armor vehicles and tanks and armor and tanks from the other axis nations were used by The Italian army in operation bararossa?

During Operation Barbarossa, the Italian army utilized a limited number of captured Allied armor vehicles and tanks, as their involvement was more focused on supporting German operations rather than leading armored engagements. The exact number of captured vehicles used by Italian forces is not clearly documented, but it is known that they supplemented their own equipment with various vehicles from Axis nations. Overall, the Italian contribution to the armored component of the operation was relatively modest compared to that of Germany.
