U.S. to Test Israeli Anti-RPG System for Iraq
[Reuters] Dan Williams - The Israeli-made "Trophy" system designed to protect tanks and troop transports from shoulder-fired rockets will be tested by the Pentagon for possible use by U.S. forces in Iraq, a senior Israeli defense source said Monday. Its manufacturer, Rafael, puts the system's reliability rate at about 95 percent. Lova Drori, Rafael's vice-president of marketing, said the Israel Defense Forces had requested several dozen Trophy systems to be installed on advanced battle tanks by the end of 2007.
