| Meet ARENA |
| 2005-12-02 |
| The Arena tank active protection system belongs to the latest generation of Russian APS, together with Drozd-2 APS. Arena's direct predecessor is Shatjor APS that was installed on o.478M Molot MBT. The system has been developed at the Kolomna-Based Engineering Design Bureau together with other allied enterprises. It has no foreign counterparts for the time being. Arena is intended to protect tanks from antitank grenades and ATGMs, including top-attack ATGMs... |

| #3 Surely having a radar broadcasting on top of a tank just says "i am here kill me" like with anti radar asms i.e. ALARMS and HARMS. might be ok against low tech rpg's though |

| #2 i'm guessing fck all tanks actually have the Arena or Arena type system fitted at all though do they being as they are russian millitary, perhaps 5 or 6 tanks maybe lol. I'm sure i read on tank net the USMC or amry not sure which one has a crash program ready if need be to set up a system like this. Didn't Israel also develop such a system that will be/is cabable of knocking down the dart from a SABOT round. still the infantry nearby or civilians near by when used is problem . |

| #1 good for ambushes in the field, but hell on your own dis-mounted infantry and non conbatants in the area in a city. |
