They’ve been waiting for it for over a decade; the Army has been dithering about Active Protection Systems since the late 90s.

There was never an actual production contract awarded, though IIRC, Raytheon was given a few development only contracts.

The Army believed Raytheon’s sales pitch and put off APS purchases... until recently where it became clear that Konkurs and other world ATGMs are far, far more lethal to first line NATO tanks than previously thought. QuickKill 2.0 promises to be all singing, all dancing - but it’s vaporware. Trophy is available now and it’s demonstrated to work.

The 2nd link posted forum back and forth was interesting. I just remember Rayethon had nothing years ago and still developing with an enormous price tag( I think it was billions) whereas Israel had a system ready to roll and sell at a one million per price tag. I remember the back and forth here in FReeperville and other sites saying even if the TROPHY system needed upgrades it was years ahead and yet the only thing Rayethon had was promises for better in five years which is now as you stated ten years and still not finished.

Thanks for the extra effort educating me. I'm certainly not a pro on this but know how to read. Appears to me we're on the same page but the politics of buying from Israel and huge military contracts are probably impossible to get out of once all the paper work is signed.
