Does not sound very realistic.-Will be great to attach this Akkor In helicopters and Aircrafts .
I know Akkor itself can demage the aircraft when blow up but better than direct hit from SAMs .

In the use of incandescent on a helicopter, the chance of collateral damage is reduced by programming the anti-glow ammunition to intercept further away from the launch vehicle.-Will be great to attach this Akkor In helicopters and Aircrafts .

As far as I know, Trophy is only proven against Russian Metis and Kornet and not top-attack ATGMs like Javelin or SpikeI'm not the expert on this subject. It is my understanding with limited technical capability there is literally 0 difference between a horizontal, top or in between attack. The trajectory of the missile is in all 3 forms quite close to each other, radar detects it nearly 50 meters away and intercepts at 10-30meters. At this point the missile is not on top of the armed vehicle. It is just at a little higher altitude, it doesnt do the diving move at this point.
As you can see here. The the point of detection and shooting to hard kill is in ms.

Other than that it is not really me claiming, i have seen quite a lot of articles claiming it counters all ATGMs in fact non of them mention top attack as a technical challenge, also a lot of them mentioning specifically 360 degrees.It is mostly about APFSDSs being hard to counter.
IAV 2021: Rafael details challenges of defeating APFSDS long rod penetrators with APS
by Jon Hawkes Defeating advanced anti-armour rounds with active protection systems (APSs) would mark a step change in vehicle defences, but such technology must still overcome notable hurdles. Rafae…zhuanlan.zhihu.com
When it comes to combat proven as in actual combat i dont think it is that possible in the near future most top attack atgms being western made dont think hezbullah or hamas getting one, well who knows.
I could be wrong tho, maybe someone that has expertise on this enlighten me.
They sure do. I believe an Israeli forum member here once said the radar coverage of current Trophy APS isn't sufficient enough to scan above the tank and therefore its vulnerable to top-attack munitions. Could be @500Although their systems are mostly top-notch, Israelis tend to exaggerate a lot in their marketing department.
Simple reason; cheaper, faster and relatively effective solution. M60TM Sabras are the answer you are looking. Producing new hull costs both money and time. And additionally, new tanks also be produced, these will be just supporting role / additional firepower.Looking from another perspective how do you guys look at upgrading the M60? I am not even speaking about the dumb item of looking for 1200hp engines from England.
Take the M60 which is how many years old, 40, 50? How much sense does it make to turn this old tank into this?:
It will still be an old tank in a new jacket with a new heart (1200hp engine)
Why not go for a brandnew one, be it based on FNSS Kaplan or Otokar Tulpar
I mean how many more years do we want to use a 50 year old tank, till they become 100?
Unlike HvKK or DKK, KKK is extremely conservative. They will not get Kaplan because it is a medium tank.Looking from another perspective how do you guys look at upgrading the M60? I am not even speaking about the dumb item of looking for 1200hp engines from England.

Afghans proof otherwise.The Ukrainian general said in the past that what stopped him conducting more strikes against Russian positions was a lack of tanks. Unless you are changing the style of war completely i don't see anything better then a tank at conducting quick strikes to take a position. Naturally since these weapons are at the forefront of any offensive ground operations many are going to get smoked.
If you control the skies everything on the ground is vulnerable, not just tanks. I think active protection measures that can also defend against UAV strikes could bring back the primacy of the tank in ground operations.
But as we things like drones becoming more prevalent, the aim for any serious army should be to dominate the skies. Once you control the skies it doesn't really matter what's on the ground.
Tanks play a critical role in the Ukrainian/Russian war because neither side has been able to dominate the skies.
I expect a lot of decisions will be made because of this war, and not just by our military. This is the first modern war between almost peer level militaries where both sides failed to gain air superiority and the war turned into a prolonged brawl.The upgrade decision came after the evaluation of the Ukraine-Russia war.
In the first stage, the aim is to increase the integration of the Azerbaijan and Turkiye land armies at the unit level to the where joint operations can be conducted. One of the most critical steps here is to ensure critical command and control coordination, such as a digital integrated communications network, as well as a common logistics structure for armored units where possible.T72s in the Turkic World:
Azerbaijan: 572 ~
Kazakhstan: 300
Kyrgzstan: 215
Turkmenistan: 670
Uzbekistan: 70
The upgrade package for the T72 and M60 will surely get installed a vast number of tanks.
It would be cool to see Azerbaijani T72s and Turkish M60s side by side in a future military exercise with the same turret upgrade package.

I doubt they would be using the Akkor effectors against drones - they don't have the range for that. What they would be doing is using the radars to detect and track the drones and automatically shooting at them with the commander's .50 cal.With the aquiring of LR 30mm I would be more interested in it being integrated as a RWS on Altay already with T1/T2. Outright of putting a laser on the tank (hopefully in the future) against Drones this might be the best solution.
I don't know how smart it is to try and use your APS against drones when they are not reloadable from within the tank.
