The entire IDF armor brigade equipped with Trophy active protection system

Out of Trophy and Iron fist, which one is better? On paper Iron fist looks more promising as it could intercept Kinetic energy rounds.

Yes Iron Fist has some advantage on paper. But they could not finish their product and pass the military tests.

What if it's exactly i straight line with the rocket dispenser/housing/launch system?

My original query as regarding if it's a head on approach to the trophy rocket system?

The shards of the ATGM cause zero damage to skin of tank after it's intercepted.

I was talking about warhead of ATGM, Won't it explode when APS intercept it ?

The entire Iron Trails Brigade, a tank brigade within the IDF's Armored Corps, was recently equipped with the Trophy active defense system. The new defense system identifies and eliminates anti-tank missiles before they can reach the tanks on which it is installed.

In the past month, the Iron Trails Brigade, which boasts a number of advanced Merkava Mark IV tanks, completed a significant exercise in conjunction with engineering forces. This drill involved cooperating with other units and focused on the advanced platforms used by the unit.

"The Iron Trails Brigade's exercises are difficult, reflecting our belief that we must push the commanders to the limit of their abilities and those of the platforms," Col. Einav Shalev, commander of the unit, stressed to the IDF Website. "As part of the process of strengthening the brigade, I emphasize the depth of our responsibility to reach further than any other brigade, in places where others would fall. All of this influences the outlook that we can demand more from our units, so that in the future we will successfully reach deeper and further in less time."

"Our platforms do not prevent injury entirely, but they certainly reduce it. Ultimately, all of this influences our success in striking the enemy," he added.

The Iron Trails Brigade's exercises have taken place in various settings, including challenges such as operating at night and under pressure. "This year was a large step forward for us in many respects: combat in urban areas, using armored combat vehicles and tanks against an enemy, anti-kidnapping drills, and underground fighting," the brigade commander concluded.

@500 , Israel truly is a ground power. IDF has 360 of the Merkava IV MBT, 780 of the Merkava III MBT, 400 of the Merkava II MBT, 180 of the Merkava I MBT. This is not even taking into consideration over 1800 of the Magach MBTs. Israel , currently, has in its disposal and can mobilize over 3500 MBTs at whim.

Yea, nothing is touching Israel and expect to survive Her Wrath. Period.

Another brigade is getting brand new Merkava Mk4M tanks that come with Trophy off the production line.

What is the difference between Merkava MK4M and normal Merkava 4s?

Trophy APS, and some other less distinctive features.
