Unlike most nations Israel is at constant state of war with the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza and with its neighbors who have not yet recognized its independence. So they get to field test their weapons often therefore they are able to improve the capabilities of the arsenal. The Merkva Mach IV is impressive when combined with Trophy active protection systems that was added after the dismal performance against the Lebanese militant Shiite group Hezbollah.
The Hamas are cheering that they took out some Merkavas. What wasn't mentioned is that the crew survived, the tanks were towed back, repaired, and are now back in action. Great tank.
its "obsolete" not obsolate Hezbollah like most terrorist groups fighte cowardly never face to face!! Hezbollah was using American tow missiles and Russian Kornet missile that can kill Any tank in the world i was surprised when i saw one missile bounced from Merkava 4.

@basem22 No tank is 100% safe.
Want a "fair" fight? Build your own tanks.
6 day war again?

@basem22 Tanks are not made for urban combat. If Hezbollah stopped hiding in civilian areas they would probably be bombed into submission...
