Actually Yom Kippur war went well for Israel's armour in the north (Golan Heights), the largest tank battle ever if memory serves.

Can you reference the relevant active protection systems?

Re: Yom Kippor in the south is where Egyptian anti tank misses did shocking damage to Israeli tanks which caused a lot of people to predict the imminent death of the MBT 50 years ago.

The Russian active protection system is called Arena [1]

Looks like a very selective view of the Yom Kippur war given what has happened on the Syrian front and the subsequent development of Israel's own MBT. Can you please share some references to "caused lot of people to predict the imminent death of the MBT 50 years ago" ?

The largest tank battle would be the Battle of Kursk.
