U.S. Abrams Tanks Are Getting Active Missile Protection
More than 250 of the U.S. Army’s Abrams tanks will be equipped with a system designed to sense and destroy incoming anti-tank warheads.
Breaking Defense reports the U.S. Army, as part of its 2019 budget, will purchase 261 Trophy anti-tank active protection systems (APS) for its Abrams tanks. The upgrades are designed to keep the tank alive on battlefields where advanced Russian rockets and missiles are a threat.
