Trophy could have also been off depending on when this image was taken.
And trophy could have diminished it. If we assume the projectile was a tandem missile, Trophy may not have stopped it outright. As Freezer said, it could have even been launched too close for the system to react.

The only reason that the trophy would be off is if the tank wasn’t on and driving. So unless the image was taken in October 7 in which some merkavas where damage while they were parked there is probably a different reason that the projectile hit
Not exactly, but if it’s going to always be active in combat, then it will be on. As an example, many of the Merkava tanks we know were disabled during October were taken out because Trophy was off to save power.
I know some reasons as for why their trophy was off:
- No TC thought there was an AT threat because they were so surprised and a lot of confusion was on the comms so nobody knew what was happening.
- The trophy radar emits (ik, obviously) radiation which can get Infantry sick and give them cancer.
- some just dont work, i can tell you my tank’s trophy system only worked half the time. these things require a ton of maintenence
but saving power? nah thats like saying you dont turn on the car radio to save power xD
theres an alternator ;)
Gotcha. I was informed they sucked a LOT of power, and it was to save energy.
Though that could still be one of the reasons as well.

Only half of the time? Rafael claims that it has a 90% kill probability
Rafael trophy aps
Also if the trophy aps can cause cancer then I’m pretty sure the idf wouldn’t use it especially after what happened in נחל קישון where over 500 military divers got cancer and about 100 of them died
It does! By work, i mean the ability to turn on the system at all, lots of issues on that area. when the system does turn on, it works most of the time :)
everything causes cancer, inside the tank, outside, antennas around you cause cancer. Why not mitigate the damage? its not as harmful as Nahal Kishon was.

man not to insult you but your comment about anthenas causing cancer sounded like AI generated comment of a crystal mom

By that logic half of the idf would have had cancer because that everyone uses a radio and similar tech.
Even if Stuff emit radiation it’s the same radiation as your phone which has been proven multiple times to not cause cancer
To be honest, if scientists are to be believed, most things cause cancer cause we don’t understand it that well.
yeah but low frequency radio signal aint gonna cause cancer to nobody not even 5G signals
That’s fair, but you never know. It’s probably just one of those California paranoia labels lol
We seriously get told to not activate it if the situation allows, because of this.

Radios are minor, radar antennas are worse. But okay expert :)

the only reason they dont activate anthenas at all time its cuz the radio frequency can be detected and located by the enemy not because it can cause cancer, the radio frequency of radio anthenas its too low to even generate cancer at long term because the RF its a form of non ionizing radiation
radar antennas use a form of RF to work they dont emit ionizing radiation as i already said they dont provoke cancer by any means
Guys we’re getting off topic
Do you have a source for the first document?
