Wish the Israelis exported this thing whole-they only give out certain parts of this tank.It would be a real best seller & cause the Abrams & Leo-2 salesmen plenty of heartburn.prospective buyers could have ranged from India,Australia,Singapore,Chile to South Korea.If im not mistaken a lot of Merkava tech is seen on the Indian Arjun MBT(fire control system & LAHAT missiles) & South Korea's next gen tank.
I am not sure, but I think they use American engines so they are forbbiden to sell the tank. Anyone know for sure?
