The Israelis like putting their infantry behind THICK armor... and all of their scrimmages are ‘home games’ where the armor rolls into battle directly frome their basing areas. If Czech doctrine is going to be similar to Israel’s... why not?

Actually, Israel puts its soldiers behind thick composite armor and a front-mounted engine in this APC variant of the Merkava tank. (Israel previously converted Centurions and captured T54 and T55 tanks). I hope the Czechs get theirs with Spike missiles. The Czechs are also looking at the German Puma
