GL6 Hard-Kill Active Protection System Tested

Global Military Forum

China's GL6 Active Protection System demonstrates its hard-kill capability by intercepting incoming rockets and likely drone-launched munitions before impact. The GL6 Active Protection System combines wide-angle radar with automated interceptors to defend armored vehicles against modern anti-tank threats. If fielded widely, the GL6 Active Protection System could significantly improve PLA tank survivability while strengthening China's armored vehicle export portfolio.  Expert Insight:  Modern APS technology is becoming as important as armor itself, giving tanks a final defensive layer against precision-guided weapons and top-attack threats.
