Merkava MBT
Merkava ( doslova „vůz“ (ve smyslu válečný)) je série hlavních bojových tanků vyvinutých a vyrobených v Izraeli pro Izraelské obranné síly (IOS).
Při konstrukci tanku Merkava bylo vše podřízeno hledisku přežití posádky; motor je umístěn v přední části tanku a slouží tak jako dodatečná součást balistické ochrany, zatímco posádka může z poškozené Merkavy uniknout dveřmi v zadní části tanku.
The Merkava (Hebrew: מרכבה, [mɛʁkaˈva] ( “chariot”) is a main battle tank used by the Israel Defense Forces. The tank began development in 1970, and entered official service in 1979. Four main variants of the tank have been deployed. It was first used extensively in the 1982 Lebanon War. The name “Merkava” was derived from the IDF’s initial development program name.
