what makes me think that APSs are not a real factor either way is that everyone slaps ERA and anti-drone mesh on everything, which would interfere with radar. APSs historically had a huge blind spot on top, which is a bad thing in a war with drones. also, major user of APSs, IDF, slapped anti-drone grids on top of their tanks at the beginning of current Gaza war, so kinda probably that means that they are not really sure that it works good enough

all 20 of them?
everything that goes boom was used by now, but i doubt it’ll make a major difference

Ukrainians have this thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaslin_Active_Protection_System but i’ve never seen something like Drozd/Arena used, nor western APSs. plenty of ERA everywhere tho
