Probably the best protected tank in the world.

Well....

Israel currently has the full range of the "Merkava" tanks(Marks 1-3), with the Mark 4 going into to service shortly:

We also still use some M60 veraients, improved by IMI and called Magach:

Only 2 years ago we retired the exellent Centurion tanks, which we improved and named "Shot":

This is a good time to salute the good old centurion that served us faitfully in 4 wars and countless battles.
