Israel’s Home-Built Merkava Tank Tactics

Israeli Merkava Main Battle Tank

This is the Israeli Merkava Main battle tank. It’s 120 mm MG253 smooth bore cannon can fire multiple types of munitions on target 2,000 meters away while on the move thanks to its sophisticated fire control systems. The development of the Merkava takes us through multiple wars and a unique period in Israel’s history. It tells us a lot about how Israel’s domestic military industrial complex became the powerhouse it is today. I want to find out what type of tactics and strategy work best with the Merkava in urban warfare. We’ll also explore the vehicle’s strengths and weaknesses.
