| Milforum Moderator | I never heard about that...Dosent make much sens, as tank FC and Aircraft FC are very diffrent...Are you sure that someone dident get confused because of name similarity? The IAF codename for the f15 being Baz, and the Merkava Mk3 FC system name being Baz as well? |

| Tribunus Laticlavius  | I don't have a source to go on, but the Merkava Mk4 having the best FCS would make sense. Then again, Leopard II variants would also be strong contenders. The Challenger and the M1 Abrams too of course.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | IF the M1 has a better FCS. If the Merkava has the better FCS, then Israel may very well keep it to themselves. Probably whisper some hints for improvement at the USA ... maybe, maybe not. |

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Thinking in terms of making sure the USA doesn't sell the latest and niftiest things to Israel's enemies and vice-versa. Israel's in more of a precarious circumstance. Some nations in the area buy arms from the USA and also have high potential for becoming Israel's enemy in the future. Saudi Arabia for instance. I don't doubt its a 2 way partnership. |

| Centurion | saudis arnt the problem, israel would wipe them out faster than in the 6 day war... the problem is the overall arab army.... egypt now has m1a1's, atleast 500, egypt has been an agressor in the past, and i dobut that little worthless paper israel got for the suez will be worth anything in the future if egypt decides to invade with the help of the rest of israels neighbours... offcourse m1a1 or T-whatever wont matter... egypt's m1a1's will be crushed by israels tanks because of the human factor of war, israel is simply better trained and more organised, but these M1A1's will cause more deaths on IDF side, which isnt good news for the poor guys who burn alive inside a tank from a sabot supplied by US... i can understand that these military exports make good $ and help US economy, but why egypt? why give them 1.3 billion annually? do they even need it. they are the agressors in the past, and in addition egypt goes against US in the UN all the time, what makes egypt such a great allie that it should be given these weapons... |
