Why substantially buffing the Merkavas mk.4 would benefit everyone

Have I said that is a issue? No, I have said that the BVM and the T-90M are right behind the leopards in capabilities.

Ditto to the above, please go back and read my earlier comments.

What is ditto english is not my main language

Ditto means ‘As before’ according to the Oxford Dictionary, in this case, it would be similar to saying ‘as said before’. I think.

It’s a tank that got blasted off by impoverished dudes with makeshift RPG standing 10m about. idk if their claim about “deflecting all KE projectiles in the region” is even true or does that means “our airstrike will take care of the KE projectile launcher first thing first”.

Tiktok knowledge lol
Show me a single proof of it being destroyed by 1 rpg

I have friends that are merkava operators and they said it takes around 6-8 rpgs to to take a merkava down(not necessarily killing the crew)

video of RPG shooting on merkava - video ends few seconds after the hit - no aftermath
big explosion = merkava destroyed merkava bad
come on man,
only 2 merkavas were destroyed in gaza (destroyed, not damaged)
one by literally 3 ton IED, which the driver ACTUALLY survived that.

Hah yea
Also ik germany military ppl said merkava is on the same level of protection as the leo but idk where to find it

Which Leo? there are lot of Leopard variant running around across Europe each have different protection too.

“X stated Y” is not a proof unless printed on a peer-reviewed / state document my guy.

You don’t need to tell me that russian lies. their exports are dogshit enough to warrant replacement in half the time average american export need replacement. straight up noped and look for replacement.

I dont know what variant but if i have to guess no less then 2a7

Lol yes it is
And considering that idf keeps its secrets it can be way more
Also ofc all this armor come at the cost of being 75+tons
Or how do u explain this much weight?

I guess noone can explain that really
Same case as Challenger 2TES being heaviest among Challenger 2 yet offer nothing (used to be better that kornet can’t pen it before nerfed)

75 ton of CE screen on top of one another lmao

Zero sources or pictures to your claim, not to glaze Israel but their tanks are 80tons for a reason and they can carry infantry too for a reason which is superior protection to any threat, but yeah go ahead and talk more nonsense.

there’s also zero source to IDF claim about it’s KE protection. we’re even.

Go ahead and check this, any sources beside the ones that been published here are totally classified, so there’s literally no point of asking about specific KE protection value because you would find none.
