"NEW AGE ELECTRIC ARMOUR TOUGH ENOUGH TO FACE MODERN THREATS

Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs) are the most prolific ground launched
threat to British and Allied armoured fighting vehicles world-wide. To
combat this very real and dangerous threat the Defence Science & Technology
Laboratory, Dstl, has developed an 'Electric Armour' that reduces the effect
of impacts by such projectiles to almost zero, and will ultimately save the
lives of soldiers."

How long before the Israeli's have this on the Merkavas and APCs?
