What do you mean "decoy missiles"?Not good against decoy missiles ? To deplete your APS stock. Any way the big problems is that the anti tank weapons are advanced beyond the capabilities of modern armour. If you want a tank armoured enough to be impervious to the latest armour piercing weapons, it could weight nearly 80tons , have terrible mobility and cost a lot
Would make way more sense to just fire a bunch of missiles at a tank, but that makes it a much harder task that requires way more coordination.
Merkava Mk4 survived a few Kornets to the front.
The Trophy has another aspect no one is talking about, the obvious one is that the tank has a much better survival rate, the less obvious one is that the ATGM operator has a much worse survival rate. You fire a missile at the tank, the system knows where you fired from, before the missile ever hits the Merkava, the Merkava already shot a much faster APAMS shell at the operator, disrupting the guidance.Not good against decoy missiles ?
