New
The Israeli Ministry of Defence held the roll out ceremony of the new main
battle tank Merkava, Merkava 4, on 24 June 2002. The 65t Merkava 4 main battle
tank entered full production in 2001 and will be in service with the Israel
Defence Forces by 2004. The Ministry of Defence will manufacture between 50 and
70 Merkava 4 tanks per year and initial estimates indicate that up to 400 tanks
will be manufactured. The Merkava 4 has been extensively improved and features
new armour protection and gun and electronics systems. The Merkava 4 is slightly
larger than the Merkava 3 Baz, which has been in service with the IDF since
1990. The Merkava 3 is offered for export by SIBAT based in Tel Aviv. The
Merkava 4 is not offered for export but the systems and components are exported.
The tank is capable of carrying eight infantry soldiers, a Command Group or
three litter patients (stretcher casualties) in addition to the tank crew of
commander, loader, gunner and driver. The tank is capable of firing on the move
at moving targets and has demonstrated high hit probability in firing against
attack helicopters using conventional anti-tank munitions.
