A fascinating Netflix multi series about tanks https://www.netflix.com/title/80208213 a must-see even if you don't like them
I know close to nothing about these man-held portable anti armour weapons BUT I do know that they are filled up with electronics which emit various radio signals and that one can track those digital signatures thus one can defeat them before they are deployed.
You just fit said tank with an active protection system (APS), which takes out missiles with counter munitions.
The APS isn't cheap, but the counter munitions are far cheaper than said missiles.
It's simply the constant weapon-armour-weapon battle, which has been repeated ad nauseam since time immemorial.
I believe the Javelin is set up to defeat active armour. It has two explosive charges one to set off the active armour and the shaped charge to go through up to 500mm of steel. That's job done.
