Historical Overview and Vehicle Purpose

The Merkava Mk.III was introduced into the Israeli army in 1990 as a development of earlier versions of this uniquely characteristic tank, designed in response to the unique requirements of Middle Eastern conditions. The Mk.III took crew protection and mobility to a higher level thanks to a 1200 HP engine and a modern 120 mm rifled gun.
