Saraab active protection system

Saraab (سراب, Mirage) is a Riysian active protection system for protecting vehicles against anti-tank missiles, precision munitions, and guided artillery shells. Adopted some time in the late 1990s, it has since become widely available throughout the Riysian Ground Forces, due to its low cost and adaptable design. The estimated cost of a full system for a tank is $29,200, and its effectiveness against modern SACLOS ATGMs, such as the TOW-2 or MILAN 3, is stated to be 80-90%.

It is mostly installed on tanks, but some of its components - primarily the optoelectronic suppression unit itself - can be installed on virtually any combat vehicle, and even fixed positions and trucks. This is possible due to the modularity of the Saraab system, which consists of several discrete subsystems that can be put together or swapped out as desired. At a minimum, a Saraab system consists of the Saraab optoelectronic suppression unit and a control panel; a full package adds a laser warning receiver and smoke laying system. Typically, Saraab is controlled by the tank or vehicle commander.
