Israel Upgrading Tanks with Trophy Active Protection
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - The IDF's Seventh Armored Brigade is in the midst of a modernization process that will see all tank battalions equipped with the Merkava Mark IV tank by 2016, a senior army source said Tuesday. The tanks will come equipped with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems' Trophy active protection against anti-tank missile attacks. "The Merkava Mark IV can destroy anti-tank firing cells. It brings with it a new level of ammunition. It is more deadly," the source said.
