Active defense: That's how it works with tanks.

If you want to know what the Leopard of the future will look like, the image above is a depiction of the Leopard 2 A7A1 with integrated Trophy System, which was successfully tested on the German main battle tank for the first time last week. Overall, the "Leo" gets a completely new face, especially as the entire turret architecture changes. HERE you can find all the information about the TROPHY System directly from Rafael.

But how does the active defense system on a tank work to guarantee its survival on the battlefield? @KampfmitKette has a wonderful thread on Twitter that explains Active Protection Systems (APS) in an easily understandable way, including their history. HERE you can read all about APS on tanks.
