Why they created their very own tank? For one, those tanks from other countries ie. Great Britain, and the U.S. were mostly outdated tanks that needed to be upgraded by the I.D.F. so they were faceable for the type of terrain and war tactics such as far shooting of their tanks. Also, initially, Britain and Israel collaborated to adapt the United Kingdom's Chieftain tank that had entered British Army service in 1966. However, in 1969, Britain decided not to sell the tank to Israel for political reasons. Thus, the State of Israel decided to create their very own homogenous tank which began with the Merkava I in 1979. Today, we have the Merkava V Barak.
