The Dutch asked for help but NATO refused to send reinforcements,its more complicated then you think bro.
You cant compare the Dutch to battle hardened soldiers like Pakistanis.

NATO didn't send help and they handed Bosniacs to Serbs to be loaded onto buses and massacred in sarbenica forest...
ICJ held them responsible for 300 murders.
We are just happy to have helped the Bosnians.... (Settling them in Pak... They couldn't take the heat so the govt settled them in the North)..
From UN duties to fighting and arming them with ATGMs and weapons ..

Did you expect them to go on a suicide mission?

We were talking about going against the Serbs in Sebrenica,in the eyes of Dutch Bat,it would have been a suicide mission.

BAE to Integrate Israeli Iron Fist on Dutch Combat Vehicles
By: Jen Judson, January 4, 2017 (Photo Credit: Franklin Moore/Training Support Activity Europe)
WASHINGTON — The Netherlands awarded BAE Systems a contract last month to test and verify the Iron Fist active protection system (APS) on its CV90 Infantry Fighting Vehicles.
IMI Systems' Iron Fist uses a radar to detect, track and intercept incoming rocket-propelled grenades and anti-tank missiles among other threats to the vehicle and its crew. IMI Systems was formerly Israeli Military Industries.
The US Army is also in the process of assessing Iron Fist for possible incorporation on combat vehicles, partly spurred by the possibility that Russia is ahead of the US when it comes to armor protection.

Army Testing Foreign Active Protection Systems For US Combat Vehicles
BAE did not disclose in a company statement the contract amount to integrate Iron Fist onto the BAE Systems-made vehicles.
The test phase will pre-qualify the APS against threat specifications determined by the Netherlands' Defence Ministry, which will tee up a decision on the next phase of the program in early 2018, Hans de Goeij, project manager at the Dutch Defence Materiel Organisation, said in the BAE statement.
Should the Dutch government decide to proceed with Iron Fist, it would be the first NATO country with an APS “of its kind” on combat vehicles, according to BAE Systems.
The US Army is expected to make key decisions on a way forward to integrate APS onto a variety of combat vehicles next summer. The service will start characterizing APS offerings on Bradley Fighting Vehicles and Stryker combat vehicles starting this month. The Army has already worked on characterization testing on the M1 Abrams tank.

2017 Holds Key Army Decisions For Vehicle Active-Protection Kit
Said to be in the running along with Iron Fist is another Israeli offering — Rafael Advanced Defense Systems’ Trophy — as well as Rheinmetall Defence’s Active Defense System of Germany and Artis Corporation’s Iron Curtain of the United States.
While Trophy has been fielded on approximately 100 vehicles in Israel and has been used in combat extensively since 2009, Iron Fist was being developed head-to-head with Trophy to be fielded by the Israeli government, but was never integrated.
The service is keeping an open mind in terms of what represents the best possible solution, according to Maj. Gen. David Bassett, the Army’s program executive officer for Army combat vehicles. While one system may work well on a Bradley, another system may be better suited for Stryker or Abrams, for instance.

RADA Electronic Industries announces its participation in the Dutch Active Protection System (APS) Project. The Company’s Compact Hemispheric Radar (CHR) platform, which has been incorporated into IMI Systems’ “Iron Fist” APS family, will be installed on CV90 infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) for testing and verification.
Active Protection Systems are installed on armored vehicles, providing protection against rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) and tank shells. At the heart of the APS are search and track radars that are capable of detecting threats and enabling interception before a threat strikes the vehicle.
RADA’s Compact Hemispheric Radar (CHR) platform is an S-band, software-defined, pulse-Doppler, active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar. The system introduces sophisticated beam forming capabilities and advanced signal processing, which can support various missions on any radar platform. It enables hostile fire detection capabilities for combat vehicles and provides critical targeting information for APS.
Already incorporated into IMI Systems' “Iron Fist” APS family, the CHR has undergone hundreds of live fire tests and was recently delivered to Artis LLC to be integrated and tested with its “Iron Curtain” close-in APS.
According to Dov Sella, RADA’s CEO, “We are excited to be taking part in this project for the Netherlands – the first of its kind in a NATO country. Our solution was selected as part of IMI’s Iron Fist system due to its exceptional threat detection and tracking capabilities, combined with unrivaled cost-effectiveness.
“The estimated market potential of APS for fighting vehicles is tens of thousands of units. When European and US procurement programs require APS in significant quantities, our ability to provide cutting-edge radar systems at competitive prices makes our solution a serious candidate for any project of this type.”
