1. Could save many US lives in Afghanistan and elsewhere
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (10.07.09)
RPGs and other anti-tank missiles have taken the lives of many Coalition forces - US and British especially - in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Shock Absorber" now joins Trophy and Iron Fist as leading edge defense tools for the good guys. Just make sure the IDF gets them.
2. only israel america and india should have this device.

3. I like this one.... good laugh

"Such missiles are controlled by a handler who navigates them to their target. Our system ensures the missile hits anywhere but where it was aimed at." Maybe they can get it to turn the missile around and fly up the "handler's" freckle!!??? I'd like to see that! :-) Conjures images of the Coyote and his endless pursuit of the Roadrunner...
4. Yeah sure.....

Anything to raise the sagging morale of your cowardly IDF.

Trophy is a mature system and ready for deployment but the S military intentionally refused to buy it for their tanks because that wouldn't be good for Rayathon who are developing their own version. lives of US soldiers put at risk so the army can boost American business.

7. To Marco, lets do something you don't usually do, think
The Dude   (10.09.09)
During the recent Cast Lead Operation in Gaza. Hamas had set up it's fighting system as close as possible to Hizb'allah, with heavy reliance on ATGM to create heavy casualties, and to protect rocket batteries. Israeli tanks suffered no casualties, maybe just maybe this system combined with Trophy and heavy training helped to ensure this... And sagging morale? When men leave there families to fight in a situation they know is extraordinarily dangerous and they do it without even a reserve call up notice, that is not sagging morale... Well at least Spain can say they keep winning Nobel prizes... Ooops!
