There? doesn’t seem to be any information i can find about it… my guess is that they would have reloading mechanisms and yes they would have limited ammo but that is still better that slats of armor that would be heavy and they can only take so much of a beating.
he said multiple attacks. it? wouldn’t be much of anything if it couldn’t
@Jfoo111
I think that the USA has similar system on their tanks. Russia has a system like this on the T-90s. I personally don’t think that the US would let Russia? have the advantage in this area of active protection!

When was? this episode of Future weapons filmed?
they are fighting? fire with fire good job
@spinfrak
its empty. you can install several of them, or reload them. if it adds 1 extra life to the tank, which it effectively does, thats? already quite good.
wt if u attack it from 3 points at once??? hypethetically speaking.?
Shortcomings of the system
1-Is not effective against more than a shell at the same time
2-Lead to the bombing of missiles kill infantry soldiers near the armored vehicles
3-Exploding shells near? the lead to Corruption of the system
4-Ineffective against antitank missiles, and third-generation speed ultrasonic
5-Expensive U.S.A Refused to be mounted on armor
Ukraine is working on a system that works to divert anti-tank missiles would be much better than this system
@Jfoo111 because there are enemies around israel’s boarders
they need nice defense and USA? helps much
that why
hmm,? I think he didn’t actually shoot at the APC. Because all we can see in the video are close-ups. I gues it’s not battleready yet. You can’t see the APC even at the take from the Moderators back(6:23). Even the worst cameraman in the world would not miss the chance to film a scene with shooter and target in the picture.
@FireStorm81318
different developers and? different system specs. they are supposed to do the same thing. pros and cons are obviously calssified.
both are amazing systems.
This system is a double edged sword.
1. I would bet it could only stop “slow” moving projectiles. Ergo no defense against anti tank high speed arrow ammunition.
2. It uses HE to deflect a incoming round. Ergo, infantry outside would have a bad? day. Infantry that otherwise would probably survive if the shape charge hit the tank, ironically. At the cost of the crew of course if it penetrated.
3. Tanks should never go into urban areas without infantry support. Ergo, close support = system off.
@nothke if Python 5 is real..? yes they can do anything
so if all tanks have this? its just a matter of who runs out of hard approach..
@spinfrak it has 2 shots available before needing a reload…. not enough if you ask me
look at systems like AMAP ADS which have a lot more charges before needing a reload (while having shorter reaction times too)
a system using a turret to shoot at incoming threats may look cool but it’s very? impractical imo
and relying on an impractical system can get you killed fast…
How do you jam a wire-guided weapon like the TOW or MILAN anyway?
Oh, and sign me out of walking next to any piece of armour equipped with this. The kind of pressure wave that’ll? knock a hypersonic KE penetrator off course is unlikely to be survivable.
@Jfoo111 You think so. The army of God(mujahideen)(muslims) will never be lose. Even if you use the LATEST technology. We are not scared of death. Jewish scums are.? WIN
@zaco21 The Russian system never went into service and the American? system is years away from service,last year the Pentagon chose Iron fist and Trophy light to protect it’s tanks.
All becomes a metal scrap when a EMP is detonated. But think about it,? Isn’t it worth it?
Jfoo, soviets created similar system about 30 years ago,? so much to your comment.
