Years before the Army will deploy its active protective system for armored vehicles, a Russian firm has unveiled a weapon to foil it.
The RPG-30 fires a tandem-charge rocket-propelled grenade immediately after launching a decoy warhead in an adjoining tube, according to a Nov. 19 article by ITAR-TASS, the Russian news agency. The decoy is meant to distract an active protective system like the Army’s Hard Kill and the Israeli Trophy so that the tandem charge can land a one-two punch against modern armor. Its developer, Moscow-based Basalt, has completed development and testing and will begin deliveries to Russian and other militaries in coming months, the news service reported.

Russia unveils anti-APS RPG

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

Good.
When someone crows 'why do we have to keep spending money on the military?', kick them in the nads and explain this to them.

CIWS makes EVERYTHING better! Seriously, everything I've ever seen of them indicates they are brutal systems, and pretty blasted effective, too.blackeagle603 wrote:CWIS in 30 cal would make it interesting.

Guys, these are RUSSIANS.
Remember the weapon tech maxim:
If the Russians crow about their weapons - it doesn't work.
If the Americans won't talk about theirs - it does work.
