Meaning that ATGMs are going to have to be volley fired, and are getting to be to expensive for that.

When did Iron Fist first see action? The Lebanon incursion in 2006 resulted in pretty heavy Merkava casualties and most of those tanks killed were taken out by Russian top-attack and/or tandem-warhead ATGMs. This came as quite a shock to the Israelis.
EDIT: Did my own research and it looks like the Israelis started deploying "Trophy" active defense systems in 2010.
Although it's interesting to discuss the effectiveness of such systems in today's world, from a T2K perspective, the matter is largely moot- such active protection systems (aside from "old-fashioned" reactive armor) would most likely not have been fielded in any significant numbers at any point during the WWIII of T2K.
