Title: Defence against mortars
Post by: wonga66 on January 09, 2011, 12:23:58 PM

What actually is currently available as a defence against a mortar round that the Israelis have in mind? http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/idf-mulls-deploying-anti-mortar-system-along-gaza-border-1.336043

One option against mortars is the German 35mm "Millenium" gun

or the American 20mm "Centurion" Land Phalanx

I don't think the Israelis have either yet.
