No his - put the Israeli. US plans to establish active protection for Abrams and Bradley

The U.S. Army Command intends to equip the main combat Tanks M1 Abrams and M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles with active defense systems. According to Breaking Defense, the armored vehicles of four tank brigades designed for military deployment abroad will receive new systems.

No his - put the Israeli. US plans to establish active protection for Abrams and Bradley




For installation on M1 Abrams tanks, the US military chose the Israeli Trophy active defense system; It is she who is serially put on Merkava. The US Army conducted tests of this system on M1A1 tanks and Stryker wheeled combat armored vehicles from the 2015 of the year. At the same time tested the system planned to hold the US Marine Corps. Tests conducted by army experts were recognized as successful; Based on their results, the military decided to install the Trophy on the tanks.

At the same time, the Trophy system was declared unsuitable for installation on the relatively light Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. These armored vehicles should get a lighter and more compact Iron Fist Light active protection system, also an Israeli design. This system has been tested by Americans since 2016. The Israelis themselves were planning to put the Iron Fist on heavy Namer armored personnel carriers, but ultimately decided to adapt the Trophy tank system for these vehicles.

Currently, the US Army has organized nine active tank brigades, the number of which is planned to be increased to ten in the near future. In addition, five more brigades operate as part of the National Guard. Each brigade has 4,7 thousands of people, as well as 87 tanks M1 and 144 Bradley armored vehicles. In addition, the tank brigades include 18 self-propelled howitzers M109, 18 self-propelled mortars, 84 calculations with anti-tank missiles FGM-148 Javelin, 450 tracked vehicles and 900 wheeled vehicles.

      No, about four.
      The US Army is already buying the Israeli Trophy APS for every M1 heavy tank in four armored brigades slated for early deployment to a crisis. (Three brigades are in the 2019 budget, one in 2018). But those brigades also include hundreds of M2 Bradleys, medium-weight troop carriers with significant armament and armor but little spare capacity to handle further upgrades. Instead of Trophy, which was built for tanks, the Army is testing an APS called Iron Fist Light, also Israeli, on the Bradleys.

    Recently I watched a feature film about BMD Bradley - "The Pentagon Wars."
    It is shown how they took it into service - 17 years and $ 14 billion for development and testing.
    And the Air Force Colonel involved in the tests is not allowed to conduct normal tests of its security. There is ammunition with sand inside instead of gunpowder and water in fuel tanks instead of fuel, etc., etc.

    I saw a report where Putin swore at the generals saying why don’t you put Arena E on equipment? they only slam their eyes and are silent (and the money allocated for it) to see the fat-beloved generals more important than the pace of building personal mansions than the safety of our tanks (for so many years after Chechnya, when they successfully tested the Arena on the tank (survived 18 shots from RPGs and the tank left safely move) could at least a thousand tanks be equipped with this complex? so far, except for the curtain, which is useless against uncontrolled RPG grenades (it only interferes with laser-guided missiles), they don’t put anything on the tanks at all ... By the way, about the Curtain the Greeks tested it on their T80 by irradiating it doesn’t work like that with a Leopard range finder! it only works from a range finder of the same T80 and from some ATGMs (those that launch a missile of a different type, for example, Javellyn Shtore absolutely to the point of failure until the destruction of the tank)

      Not 100%, but breaks through in 30-50% of cases, approximately.
      This was checked in a famous ambush on the column Merkava-4
      in Lebanon in 2006. Merkava stood sideways on a narrow road near the gorge.
      They shot through the gorge. Almost all the hits were on board the hull, where they aimed.
      Breaks were in 1/3 of cases. Some tanks hit 2-4 missiles.
      Mounted metal-ceramic. the rocket holds the plates, but they themselves are smashed to smithereens.
      As a result of this disastrous battle, it was decided to equip all the Trophy tanks.

        yes, it’s exclusively intelligence g bought from Israel "to see", then assembled from Israeli kits and now we completely sculpt from our parts, though we decided not to change the appearance of the case.
        But now, Forpost in Russia is made entirely of Russian parts.
        Russia now has a whole range of its drones, there are not only heavy impact drones like the American MQ-1 Predator but the problem is being solved.
        The importance of drones, of course, should not be underestimated, but it should not be overestimated, so far no conflict can do without real manned aircraft, not a single drone can yet provide the combat load and speed of a manned aircraft.

    Russia is a developing country, all weapons systems are developed domestically.


    Excuse me, where is the military technology mentioned in your picture? Bonding the fuselage from plastic parts? This is what our pioneers in circles did. The reason for acquiring the license is not the transfer of certain military technologies unknown to Russia by Israel, as was the case in the United States, but pure pragmatics in the sense of saving time on a specific model that is already flying.
    "Professor", you have already repeatedly puddled in a forum, you probably like the process itself.

      Everywhere. The Russian Federation acquired not only samples of drones, but also the technology for their manufacture. We handed over blueprints, diagrams and the whole process.

      Yeah. Only how to glue and how to make parts is called TECHNOLOGY.

      Is that why you paid us hundreds of millions of dollars? request

      Do you understand what you wrote? Russia never bothered with copyrights and copied no worse than China. For example, Kalashnikov drones are a copy of the Orbiter. Kalashnikov is a master at copying. The license was acquired not at all because of the old design, but precisely because of the technology. Even your superiors openly declare this.

    You can call it that. From this point of view, cutting a watermelon into slices is a technology for cutting a watermelon. But it was a little bit about something else, I’ll remind you, otherwise your memory in certain uncomfortable places immediately disappears: military technology, and in the context of the transfer of fairly complex systems.

    They have already explained to you why this was done. Why your exclamation about hundreds of millions, do you think that we overpay, and your product does not correspond to the cost? I think if you will actively promote this idea, perhaps Russia will revise the terms of the deal.

    Where and what do they state? I'm afraid you intentionally mislead readers. It’s accepted to quote such things.
    If you are outraged by some egregious fact of copying, and you can prove it, file a lawsuit.
