No, they don't. The russians are the only ones who have used it extensively on their tanks and have done most of the development work. The israelis were actually using it before the soviets did but eventually dropped it (for the most part at least) in favor of composite armors. The US has used it sparingly (M60 refit, Bradley and more recently Abrams TUSK on top of my head).
There are many reasons for these different courses of action.
