Merkava Mk II
Main Battle Tank
The Mk.II reflects lessons learned from the Lebanon
War. It has the same 105mm main gun as the Mk.I, new multi-plated layers
of hull armor, stronger bazooka plates, a new firing system, an internal
60mm mortar, and chains hanging from the turret for protection from hollow
shells.
|
Production of the Merkava Mk.II started in 1983 and continued into 1989,
when it was replaced with the introducion of the Mk.III. |
