there's a plate-like thing that pops out, nestled right between those radar plates they showed. the idea is to throw out a claymore-like cloud of small projectiles to detonate the warhead or at least damage it enough so it comes in at a bad angle; HEAT charges only work if the business end hits on target properly, otherwise it's as good as an HE shell, only less effective.

The Tiger's Grandchild

Merkava being the safest tank for the crew is just a carefully constructed myth, the same way Tiger being 'indestructible' was just a myth even gets mentioned in this video. Merkava was designed with it's fuel tanks and engine in front of the crew with the intention of stopping the HEAT ammunition very popular during the time of the tanks creation. Isreal didn't have access to some of the advanced materials required for making composite armour other rich countries did so it went it's own path, and for the original purpose it did it's job. The layers of this fuel tank + a small layer of armour + engine would trigger the HEAT round early and would be too much distance for it to travel therefore protecting the crew. Against a modern APFSDS round fired by pretty much any modern tank though this frontal 'protection' would count about as much as layers of paper. One of these rounds would probably pass through the entire tank shredding the crew on it's way out. Not to mention a hit to this frontal engine block is going to rend the tank immobile almost 100% of the time with a frontal hit, meaning follow up shots against a stationary target, ensuring anyone still left in the tank has no way to retreat back. Having all the heat generation at the front also makes it very easily detectable to other tanks, there is a good reason every other tank has it's engine at the back. The gun on Merkava is also outdated compared to modern guns and lacks the penetration against the newest armour. I mean at bashing on poor people in the desert who have nothing but RPGs and old missile systems I guess it's a good tank. Calling it 'one of the best or if not the best in the world' though is pretty laughable to anyone who has any knowledge of tanks.

@Admiral.Gustaf

Thing is that tank generate a lot of heat on the front of the tank that very easy detected by thermal imaging device and its one of the worst tank. Also the front armor plate are not really protected and its where the engine,transmission,fuel tanks and driver are placed so doesnt really consider world best tank btw leo 2 are already good example of best tank in world. The tank overall are not really good its seems doesnt have E.R.A that will protect the crew against ATGM or RPG at least some tank old tank like soviets T-72 or T-80 with some modification are still good protected tank even for today standards. So my opinion is thats not a very good tank with bad designed tank i more like Leopard 1 or m60 for good old tank that still can fight better

@SuperGeronimo999

4 жыл бұрын

You still choose to ignore some other facts. Unlike many other popular tanks, the Merkava had a very good mine protection since its construction. Anything similar wasn't introduced on the Leopard 2 until the 2A6M in 2005, or on the Abrams with the TUS kit in 2006/07. Also, other tanks have been vulnerable against HEAT ammunition hitting anything else but the turret aswell. One Challenger 2 has been penetrated in the lower frontal glacis by a RPG, not sure if that could've happened with the Merkava front engine layout aswell. If the driver is dead or seriously injured, the tank tends to stay immobilized for a good period of time aswell. The difference is, the Merkava crew can evacuate the tank through the back, while others can't and are trapped inside. Plus, while it's true the Mark I and Mark II didn't have composite armor, modern versions do and don't lack behind other tanks at all. Also it's the first tank which has been equipped with APS and prove its capability in actual combat. The gun is outdated, but it all depends on the ammo. The same could be said about the Abrams and any older (pre 2A6) Leopard 2 variant aswell as many other tanks.
