US Army signed a new contract for the supply of Israeli KAZ Trophy




Reportedly, the number of ordered active protection kits is not disclosed, but earlier information was announced that the total number of KAZ "is approaching 1500 units."

In the autumn of 2017, the US military announced a contract to equip the Israeli KAZ Trophy 87 with M1A2 SEPv2 Abrams first armored brigade. The contract must be executed by the end of March of this year. Later it became known about the allocation of funds for another 261 kit KAZ for equipping tanks M1A2 SEPv2 (М1А2С) Abrams of three more armored brigades of the US Army. In addition, part of the funds allocated to equip KAZ tanks M1A1 Abrams Marine Corps.

Earlier in the Pentagon stated that first of all complexes AZ Trophy will be equipped with tanks M1A2 SEPv2 Abrams, designed to be deployed in Europe.

The Trophy Active Protection Complex (“Meil Ruach”) was developed and produced by the Israeli company Rafael with the participation of the IAI Elta. Complex
it is designed to hit only relatively low-speed RPG grenades and anti-tank missiles and is unable to hit sub-caliber shells and high-speed anti-tank missiles. The US Army, having conducted two stages of the tests of the KAZ Trophy installed on M2017A1 SEPv2 Abrams tanks in 2, said it was satisfied with the results.

    The US Department of Defense signed a new contract for the supply of Israeli active defense complexes (KAZ) Rafael Trophy to equip Abrams army tanks and the US Marine Corps, reports bmpd blog.
    Will I wait for the news that the RF Ministry of Defense has concluded a new contract for the supply of at least a battalion set ...

      Is it the Israeli KAZ that you are interested in? If so then NEVER :: we have "different views on life" with them.
      Domestic armored vehicles are provided with their protection. But how effective it is, I'm not an expert.

      All ATGMs flying at speeds up to 500km / h are amazing.
      PS 1500 is a general order for KAZ for RAFAEL. Of these, 274 for the United States and 50 for the United States ILC. Several dozens of these are educational copies. About 1200 units is an AOI order for tanks and TBTR.

        ATGM speed today is much lower, and armor penetration is much higher. Therefore, KAZ works on anti-tank missiles, and passive defense against shells.

                        Naturally on any old woman there is a hole, there is no impenetrable body armor or absolute armor.

                        RPG-30 is considered as an undoubted threat. However, first of all, it should be taken into account that in the direction from which the projectile is flying, a cloud of 17 splinters is fired. And after one or more of them hit the target, the others continue to fly in the same direction. And since the main part is fired after a few fractions of a second after the deception, she is likely to be amazed. In addition, let's not forget - the main armor is also located on the tank. KAZ is only a supplement.

                        As they write in the TTX RPG-30, the second shell approaches 0.2-0.4 seconds after the first, falling into the interval when the KAZ does not have time to react with the second charge, and whether fragments of the first charge fall into the second shell - this is a big question, because the RPG- 30 after KAZ Trophy, already taking into account its characteristics.

                        Well, in the first place, the KAZ Trophy tanks became equipped massively just when the RPG-30 was purchased. Secondly, the concept of RPG-30 was known long before. Thirdly, fresh systems are in the process of constant modernization - a good example of this is the LCD and Tavor. So, do you still think RPG-30 is a panacea?

            The funny thing is that in Zhukovka (such as Savyon village) the concentration of Jews is incredible)). On the so-called Rublevka there is a section of the road about five kilometers away, there is an advertising banner every thirty meters - I have never seen such a concentration anywhere in the world! It is worth advertising on this site, respectively - near Borvikha (Caesarea, GP, even more expensive) and Zhukovka. I see food and a huge poster is hanging. Restaurant advertisement. A cook so-and-so from Milan. The boss is from Naples. And from below - kosher. The name of the restaurant is Aviv. laughing And after that we want to be loved ?? )) And you say - Birobidzhan.

            Russian Jews and Kashrut are mutually exclusive things. Do not like Jews because of the kosher restaurant? What is the connection at all?

              laughing ... but what does kashrut have to do with it? Super expensive Advertising of a Jewish restaurant in one of the most expensive places in Russia.
              And religious, observing, there is enough, by the way. In the same Zhukovka and the synagogue and cultural center. Moreover, prices in this Aviv are affordable relative to others located in this area (with the exception of Gorki).

    if the speed of the ATGM is equal to the velocity of the projectile - why not, tyuyu why yes ... well, you understand ... lol

    ATGM speed today is much lower, and armor penetration is much higher. Therefore, KAZ works on anti-tank missiles, and passive defense against shells.

    Are you a tanker by any chance? Commentary of a knowledgeable person. Not every sofa knows that.

      The trophy proved to be the most efficient and run-in system, KAZ of the American company was not ready at the right time. If I am not mistaken, the final assembly is carried out in the USA anyway.

      There was an analogue on LCD, and not bad. But, apparently, they preferred to test a more reliable system, as they need it "now".
