Reply #30: No need - their current tactics will likely defeat this system... [View All]

In the video you see test after test with many different kinds of incoming weapon. In fact there is only one similarity between all the tests shown - only one incoming missile! Iraqi insurgents use a volley tactic. They dont fire one, but numerous RPGs at the target to maximise the chance of a kill. I bet this new system can not handle multiple incoming warheads.

In fact think of it like Missile Defense (star wars). Sure they can kill one or two incoming ICBMs, but the system just can't handle dozens of them. So if the Iraqis get 5 guys with RPG's, and RPG's are almost as numerous as AK's over there, to ambush a tank by firing at the same time, then I doubt this system will have any affect on the outcome.
