Charge_7 said:Yeah I was gonna say the thing looks nice but needs something like a 20mm turret on it. Nice low profile. Hope it gets fielded.
SHERMAN said:That is unfotunatly not going to happen anytime soon...IDF faces budget cuts(because it is so peacefull around here... :? ) and the whole thing is probably never gonna happen...Than again wwho knows. If they do it, I hope they have the brains to put a turret with a 20mm in it, so we wont have to rebuild all of them in 25 years...![]()
i never heard anything aboutselling any Merkavas. All MK 1 were upgraded to Mk 2b, as far as I know and we need them all. The last Magachs just got out of active and into reserves....But the Sabra dose have the same gun as the Merkava Mk 3.sherman, i thought the early merkavas are for sale, but the new ones are not... for one thing israel upgrades turkey m60 to sabra (right?) and sabra has main gun from merkava 3
how do you boys ever face budget cuts, with them idiots in the territories lobbing mortars into israel everyday.
