How can u ascertain that people have brain? did you see it yourself?
Now you've lost the logic and quarrelling like a teenager kid in the street so I end discussion here and let the readers decide. Please don't quote me on this thread. We can discuss something else some other day.

Responding to me and yet expects me not to answer.
I've shown you a Hamas video claiming to shoot Kornet at Israeli tanks, I've shown you that the interception occured, and yet you ask "How can we be sure that it's a kornet?" .
The same logic can be applied to many other fields.
We can't see the air, how can we be sure it's air at all?
We can't see the gravity, how can be sure there's gravity at all?
Or even further beyond
We didn't see S-400 interception in live, how come everybody claims it's such a good system?
We didn't see Arena in combat, Is it even working or just propaganda?
In the end, there's an amount common sense that should be applied.

Why would Hamas claim to shoot Kornet if it wasn't kornet?
And if Hamas shoot something else, would that make it less of an interception?
Didn't U.S checked the System before it purchased it? Didn't the IDF?
Didn't the multiple EU and US companies check the system before marketing Trophy worldwide?

What about like 5 vehicles with ATGMs firing at the vehicle? Oof imagine like 40 ATGMs coming out at the vehicle like the Kornet-EM.

Multiple launch capability, so that is 40 ATGMs. Could it handle this?

Russia’s newest Kornet-EM self-propelled anti-tank guided missile system completely ‘trashes’ the latest version of the U.S. Army’s Abrams tank, eqquiped with Israeli-built Trophy active protection systems, according to several pro-Kremlin media reports.

Russian state news agency TASS, the country’s leading news source, reported that latest Trophy active protection system supplied for the combat vehicles of the Israeli and U.S. armies is poorly suited for fighting modern Russian anti-tank weapons.

The Trophy is a hard-kill active-protection system, known as APS, designed for detecting, locating, and (if necessary) neutralizing anti-armor threats. Hard-kill refers to physical countermeasures such as blast or projectiles that destroy or divert incoming fire.




This system protects heavy and medium armored vehicles from threats ranging from rockets to ATGMS and High-Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) rounds. Extremely precise target acquisition and tracking, coupled with Multiple Explosively Formed Projectile (MEFP)countermeasure technology, ensures a high probability of threat neutralization (in most cases without thread initiation) while minimizing the potential for collateral effects. TROPHY HV is fully tested, qualified, and in serial production for the Israel Defense Forces armor force (since August 2009) and now installed on the latest version of the Abrams tank.

TASS, quoting an unnamed source in the Israeli defense industry, said that “the Trophy system proved its high effectiveness in repelling single launches of anti-tank missiles and rocket grenades, including launches from different directions. However, the active protection system still can’t sustain fighting two or three anti-tank munitions launched at a minimum interval. This technology is used in Russia’s latest systems, for example, the upgraded Kornet system and single-use grenade launchers”.

Also noted that specifically, these are the Russian-made Kornet-EM self-propelled anti-tank system. The Kornet-EM is capable of firing two missiles in one beam with a minimum interval.

The Trophy active protection system still needs to work on effectively fighting anti-tank weapons based on this principle, the source noted.

It should be stated, Russian state-controlled media launched a mini-crusade against Trophy after news that the U.S. Army has unveiled an advanced version of M1 Abrams tank with a new protection package on its turret during exercise in Romania.

The newest version of the M1 Abrams tank is considered the most technologically advanced digital tank in the world with superior firepower and equipped with Trophy active protection system, which will help guard against anti-tank guided missiles and infantry anti-tank rockets.

And we have them in Thousands and it was recently used it with great effect against tanks and bunkers.

No, no tank would. At least not with todays technology. However this situation is unrealistic, and Merkava's never go alone.

Thank you for being wise
