Watchman comment: my son left the US Army as a decorated infantry major and like his father a veteran of the Iraq war. When he was in ROTC I advised him to stay away from the armor branch because I told him tanks were "death traps". The video below bears out what I told him approximately 24 years ago.
I can never recall a tank slaughter like Hezbollah inflicted on the Israelis occurring on the US or its allies during Desert Storm, or the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. Anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), bomb dropping drones and rocket propelled anti-tank grenades (ATRPGs) have changed modern warfare. Hamas and Hezbollah learned and adapted from watching the Russians in Ukraine! With each passing Middle East war the balance is shifting away from Israel. Eventually, some day Yeshua will have to intervene in order to save Israel in war!

The Weakness of Merkava Tanks
Oct 26, 2023
Merkava, celebrated as one of the world's most protected tanks, stands as the ultimate testament to Israel's unwavering dedication to maintaining an unbeatable edge on the modern battlefield. Its distinctive design sets it apart from conventional tanks, but, as the saying goes, "Being different doesn't grant it any magical powers." The truth is: The Merkava is not invulnerable. In total, five Merkava tanks met their demise. Among them, two Merkava Mark 4 – one fell victim to an IED, while the other succumbed to Russian AT-14 'Kornet' missiles. The attack in the Gaza Strip, where a bomb detonated beneath the tank, tragically resulting in the loss of three soldiers, has once again brought the Merkava's vulnerability into sharp focus. But what vulnerabilities lie beneath the surface of this armored giant, and how do they impact its performance on the battlefield?
