The original Merkava Mk.2 tank was developed and has been used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) since the early 1980s. Designed in response to the specific operational requirements of the IDF, a distinctive feature of this vehicle is maximum crew protection – achieved, among other things, by placing the engine at the front and the ability to transport troops inside the hull.
