Oh no we are not talking Traveler style "Sandcasters"?

With the weight of the device and the storage for the ablation particles you might as just well haul the armor around since it doesn't come with all the holes in the defenses.

That's pretty cool. I could see this being pretty effective against the usual HEAT weapons. Wouldn't do much of anything against a big warhead or a kinetic weapon though, would it...

Some reports indicated the intercept was close enough to trigger the tank’s automatic fire ‘Spectronix’ protection, which have lead to Palestinian claims of actually hitting the tank.

Does anybody know how this Spectronix system works? I can imagine that it emits some kind of foam or CO2 to kill the fire.
