Even if the rumor were true, the Merkavas would all have been delivered long ago.

Blockquote keeping it hidde is nearly impossible
This is factually incorrect.
They can store and train with tanks in a classified manner it is possible and many countries do it. This is about 50 tanks, not 100, not 200, not 1000. 50 tanks
Do you know how many tests companies do on every part of every tank In the world? And somehow they keep it fully classified.
I’m not proving anything, and like you said as long as it’s just rumors it won’t enter the game, Forget about the fact that they added an “F16 AJ” to Japan

What?
Just saying, people are literal tracking the positions lf the russian t-14 armata tanks trough satalite images tanks are large heavy tjings they arent hidden well.
The only country keepingtheir tanks realy hidden is north korea and we dont need to explain why is that.
Even china is unable to keep their stuff hidden
It was added because it was a necesarity. And propably will be “removed” / exchanged relatively soon in the future
It’s like they told you, if Singapore had bought the Merkava or the Leopard 2A7 a long time ago there would already be some photos or leaks. if there is no photo or video there is no proof. I’ll give you an example, here in Chile on many websites they assured that Chile has the M1097 Avenger (anti-aircraft defense) even on the U.S. defense page it is mentioned, Chile finally bought this? the answer is NO, if there is no proof there is no purchase.

Israel wouldnt want to hide the deal either, its a huge step for them advertising tjeir export market and success for a tank that wasnt exported yet if i am right

How much knowledge do you have from satellites about new western tanks like Merkava Barak, Abrams X, Leopard 2a 8+, EMBT etc…? 'Years upon years of development and experiments. Until they were revealed to the public, no one knew anything.
This is just a small example from years of history.
Just rumors. Countries can also hide tanks from the media, you’ll be surprised.
Now I never heard Gaijin say anything about deleting or replacing The F16 AJ.
And As far as I know, the T14 was mainly a propaganda campaign that no one wanted to promote
You are quite right, the companies that usually sell armaments want to publicize their export success, even more so for tanks. but this can be summed up in the fact that if there is no evidence there is nothing, there is no reason to continue discussing the same thing.
Israel has no interest in losing an important business partner.
Like I said, they keep things classified. Israel sells them tanks, wants them to buy tanks from them among other things, I don’t understand what is Israel’s interest in destroying a business partnership
Not everything that is photographed is published to the public. I can’t understand this Argument, obviously there are cases of disclosure of classified information on behalf of unprofessional people and it also can be considered acts of treason to publish classified information,
That can happen anywhere, it doesn’t mean that everything that is classified is exposed.
not every arms deal is exposed by some random guy taking a picture
You are on the WarThunder forum, not a secret purchase forum, in the forum rules it is mentioned that at least 1 photographic evidence is needed. If you are reporting that Singapore has Merkava the minimum is to demand photographic evidence, right? otherwise everyone will start saying that they have things without evidence.

The Image is not working to you?
yeah quote aint working i refreshed and nothing
So we are expected to believe that Singapore bought Merkavas and in the 10 years since then not a single photo has appeared? We haven’t seen it a single time in any training exercise, we haven’t seen it at any arms parade like the one that just finished? We haven’t seen anything on SIPRI? Israel who is very open about their arms sales hasn’t said anything and even contradicted that there was a sale at all by saying that the first Merkava hull export was the AVLB to the Philippines. Not a single shred of evidence in all that time frame? Yet M1E3 models and early mockups leaked less than a month after the program went public. Yet somehow somehow a 20 year old tank that is arguably worse performing than their L2SG fleet is some wunder weapon that needs SCI level covering?
OR
Singapore never bought Merkavas and a single Russian news site might have been wrong. You also made sure to crop out the section where there was no customer stated and the idea that the customer was Singapore was entirely speculation by the author.
