Badass Tank Video

Courtesy of an Israeli friend, I give you this video of the Merkava 4 (broadband recommended).

As an old DAT (dumbass tanker), I find the looks inside the turret most interesting because I can quickly compare them to the M1. No other major tank can match the Merkava’s rear exit, but those dismounting infantry will be useful for the maintenance required on the tanks in some of the shots in this clip.

    I am Crl. (Retired), Armored Cavalry, of the army of Chile.

    We have Leopard 1A5 and Leopard 2A5.

    I am looking for information and movies about the Merkava 4 tank of the IDF.

    I need your video of the Merkava 4 for a presentation (Powerpoint).

    ¿Can you help me?
