Good stuff, Tim! Many thanks for the links. Google wasn't much help.

It is an interesting side note that when pressed repeatedly RMF refused to post any links to back up his claims. You came through and responded voluntarily. RE: Trophy: The Israelis have been working on the Trophy system for 10 or 11 years, Sorenson said. “If this thing was ready to go, my question would be, why wasn’t it on the particular tanks that went into Lebanon?” he said. No Israeli Merkava tanks carried the Trophy system, he said. Other problems include the fact that the system right now has no reloading capability. Once it fires, that side of the vehicle is vulnerable. Which brings up another shortcoming: the Trophy can only be mounted to protect one axis. This means officials would have to mount multiple missile systems on every vehicle. Maybe that is why the US is not pursuing the technology. Maybe it is why Israel is not deploying it.
