RPG's, or the Soviet gift to the worlds revolutions. Basically a gernade on a rocket, can melt through alot of steel and inserts the explosives inside.


And actually the Soviet RPG is a cheap rip off of the Nazi Panzer-Faust.

hi ,

all you need to stop it is 2.5 cm or 1 inch of "chobham" , ....

have a nice day

the special engine it uses , has some advantages over a standard gas turbine , ....

one thing the Merkavada has , is that it does not have "limitations" like the leopard 1 and 2 , they have to build according to certain limitations , like the size , for transport by railroad , one thing the Israeli's dont use that often , armour , road spec's , etc , ....

the best thank that comes near it , is the French "Leclerc" , ...

the Merkava 4 its more advanced than the m1a1 Abrams , very far , ....

You are very correct because all of our tanks are now M1A2.

hi ,

not all , the are now going to replace them , first 665 units of the second M1A2 series , then with M1A2 SEP , 1998-2008 , only a few in use , and there is th M1A1 D 1999-2009 , only a few in use .

a new series shall enter from 2006 on , that is if the go ahead with it , ......

as for now , the Leclerc or the Merkava out perform the M1A1 any day , .....

I doubt the leclerc out does the Abrams. Leclerc doesnt use depleted uranium shells. You'de be lucky if the leclerc 120mm could take out the frontal armor of an abrams at stand-off range. Not a problem with the abrams which can take out most tanks at standoff range (2-3 miles)

Of course I could be talking out of my ass. I have never seen a leclerc, but I have seen the abrams in action and they are amazing

all tanks look amazing at performances. Truth is , we'll never really know , until battle looms. Let's hope that this all is hypothetical talk.

hi ,

uranium is outdated , palladium is beeing used , and tungsten steel is stil the best , but it cost's more .

Panag : I can also download and resize pictures from the IDF site.

Oh, are you sure the last one was Mk4? It looks more like Mk3 for my absolutely untrained eye.
