The Most Impressive Merkava Tank Debut

Israel is known as one of the most successful main tank manufacturers in the world. The Merkava tank is one of the most advanced tanks in the Middle East. Let's open the box for a moment.
The Merkava was built from scratch by Israeli scientists, designed by an Israeli defense general, Major General Israel Tal.
The Merkava tank was launched in May 1979. This tank was unlike any tank used by other armies.

To look at tanks as a constant bomb shelter is dumb, you's all saying it can't take hits keep overlooking its offense capabilities. Look at it's shooters, who knows what their munitions really are cuz they make their own stuff. That tank hits you before you hit them... Game Over my brothers

As soon as multimillion merkavas got hit and destroyed by unprofessional guided cheap drones they been "reviewed" and advertised. Cyprus was supposed to send t80s to Ukraine, and get mk3, but as soon real life battle footage came out, changed their mind

An engine block and 100mm of plate wouldn't stop much for modern ammunition. Already seen some get destroyed. Hell 1 even got badly dmg and prob eventually a total loss by a small munition.. grenade etc...

Its a junk which was mostly used against civilians. It can be destroyed by an RPG from the 80s. The best tank is the russian T90.
