Okay, found a video about it. Its basically a point defense shotgun system. Very low probability of injury to surrounding infantry. And if fired at a rocket coming right at you, the pellets will likely continue on towards the shooter.

This country is no longer serious about winning wars, and hasn’t been for about 70 years.

Cool!
Thanks for the video link. It appears to be a very sophisticated system.

Drozd 1 and 2 had numerous problems and had a nasty habit of killing the infantry accompanying the tank. It also couldn’t provide all-aspect protection and wasn’t terribly smart. After it failed in Afghanistan and Chechnya, they developed Arena.

Nobody said it was perfect. :P Unlike earlier systems, it doesn’t automatically kill infantry near the tank, though.

I considered the probability of the pellets also hitting the shooter of the rocket to be a feature, not a bug...

> Installed on Israels most-advanced tank, the Merkava 1V, the systems sensors instantly identify a rocket or RPG heading toward it. Without intervention of the crew, the system fires pellets that detonate the rocket at a safe distance from the tank. It also informs the crew of the location from which the incoming rocket was launched, permitting counter-fire.
