Getting a little off topic, but, to help out one of my "mates" out here from the very start I'll leave you with the following...

Ah yes MBT Thread so...

Israel: The MERKAVA IVM BAREK/Windbreaker (To us.) The first para (Ref. 1) might be of some use here as I believe we've "flipped/flopped" on when Israel started using APS on their tanks, if I'm mistaken, my apologies in advance due to my current situational schedule. Also seems they've got at least on the turret
a newer passive armor and also towards the bottom, what might be some useful data on LAHAT.

For contrast to maybe help in establishing a "degree of separation" the following...

The MERKAVA Mk IV:

Looks like sometime FOC 2010 of APS TROPHY backed up by this Ref. as well. Don't know if Gingertanker addressed this or not. He's a VERY busy man!!)


Oh if you watched the news last night in the Med, the Cold War is back!! AHhhh the memories how easy it would've been to send a Mk-48 down "the range"!?! CBS News carried it, probably on You Tube now, but Russian Destroyer closing the gap on USN Cruiser while Russian sailors sun bathe on the helo deck. Wonderful!

I'm done here and I intend to enjoy the rest of my weekend with a I can't wait to see in full digital everything...GODZILLA!!

Have a good something somewhere!!

Regards,
Pat
