00:00Out of the secrets Israel holds, this Israeli tank has shocked Hamas, Iran, Russia, and China.
00:07Let us take you to this mind-blowing military wizardry.
00:10To know more about these exclusive secrets, subscribe to our channel.
00:14Every like for the video makes us dig deeper.
00:17Keep supporting.
00:18Why did Hamas, Iran, Russia, and China collectively take special interest in this one tank?
00:25Can one tank really change how nations plan their defense strategies?
00:29Hamas, Iran, Russia, and China are the countries with impeccable defense strategies and weapons.
00:36Do they believe that this single secret tank of Israel will defeat Hamas's Ayash 250, one of Hamas' longest-range rockets?
00:45Russia is startled despite of having the S-400 Triumph, an advanced long-range surface-to-air missile system.
00:52China feels threatened even after having the Dongfeng 41, China's most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile.
00:59Why does this single tank make Iran feel defenseless, even after having the Bavar 373, Iran's long-range air defense system?
01:08Well, if the tank makes all these countries curious, the power of the tank is beyond our guess.
01:14This mysterious secret tank is the Merkava, Maine battle tanks.
01:18These tanks were developed by the Israelis in the late 1970s.
01:22The word Merkava means chariot in the Hebrew language.
01:26The tanks are designed for survivability, crew safety, and urban or western desert warfare.
01:31The making and the intentions behind it reflect Israel's combat environment.
01:36There are incredible features that make the Merkava, Maine battle tanks unique.
01:41One outstanding feature of these tanks is the engine-in-front design.
01:45Unlike most tanks, the engine is at the front.
01:49This adds an extra layer of protection for the crew.
01:51This brilliant move also allows the rear to be used as infantry transport space,
01:57which makes the tank almost like a mini-APC.
02:00Another amazing Merkava feature is APS, which is the active protection system.
02:06It is the world's first operational active protection system, which provides 360-degree coverage.
02:13This technology makes the Merkava IV extremely difficult to kill, even by modern guided weapons.
02:19It detects and intercepts incoming missiles and rockets in real time.
02:24Very few weapons have this feature inbuilt, and hence this has stunned groups like Hamas and Hezbollah,
02:31who use anti-tank guided missiles.
02:33This feature enhances situational awareness, allowing faster and smarter decision-making.
02:40The Israeli tanks stood out for this reason.
02:42These Merkava tanks are battle-proven.
02:45They have been used in Lebanon, Gaza, and numerous regional conflicts,
02:50adding to the real-world experience as a major plus.
02:53And most importantly, these machineries are being updated constantly based on updated front-line feedback.
02:59The latest variant in the Merkava series is the Merkava Mark, Dirt Barak.
03:05The features of this machinery include AI and sensors to identify and prioritize threats.
03:11It includes a 360-degree battlefield awareness system and is designed for multi-domain warfare,
03:18integrating air, ground, and cyber components.
03:21No wonder countries like China, Russia, Iran, and Hamas are startled by these tanks.
03:29Although there are incredible weapons in countries like China, Russia, Iran, and Hamas,
03:35what makes the Merkava series unique and outstanding is its unique design philosophy,
03:40advanced protection systems, and multi-role capability.
03:44The ability to carry infantry or wounded soldiers, doubling as an armored personnel carrier,
03:50is a rare feature in main battle tanks.
03:53The firepower and precision are another feature that deserves to be feared.
03:57It is equipped with a 120-millimeter smoothbore cannon,
04:01highly accurate and capable of firing advanced munitions.
04:05This advanced fire control system allows fire-on-the-move accuracy.
04:10These tanks are not limited by any chance.
04:14It is designed to excel not only in open fields,
04:17but also in dense urban environments, like those in Gaza and Lebanon.
04:22They are equipped with advanced armor modules,
04:25rear-exiting ramps for infantry deployment,
04:28and internal air conditioning and overpressure systems
04:31to protect against chemical or biological threats.
04:34These features make it a game-changer on the battlefield.
04:37It's a highly protected mobile command unit.
04:39Infantry carrier and missile defense system in one vehicle.
04:44The three-in-one package deal was designed by the brains in Israel.
04:48Its design reflects Israel's specific defense needs,
04:52emphasizing crew survivability, advanced tech, and battlefield adaptability.
04:57There are reasons why every country takes a special interest in this one tank.
05:01China, Hamas, Russia, and Iran are all paying close attention
05:05to the Israeli Merkava tank for specific reasons.
05:09The reason for Hamas is personal.
05:11These Merkava main battle tanks frequently operate in Gaza and the border regions.
05:17While the go-to weapons of Hamas, the RPGs and ATGMs like Cornet
05:22are largely neutralized by Israel's Trophy Active Protection System.
05:26The frequent defeats are caused by the Merkava machinery,
05:30for which Hamas needs to rethink how to breach Israeli armor.
05:34This has become a core part of its guerrilla strategy.
05:37Iran has a different reason.
05:39Iran backs groups like Hamas and Hezbollah,
05:42so they have an understanding of how crucial it is to counter these Israeli tanks.
05:47Iran has been on a quest to either replicate countermeasures
05:49or find weaknesses to exploit in asymmetric warfare.
05:54But this has been made impossible for Iran by the Israelis,
05:57as their battlefield innovations influence how Iran trains its proxies.
06:02Israel develops its own systems against it.
06:04The reason for Russia's interest in the Merkava series is a tech rival.
06:09Russian tanks like the T-72, T-90, and even T-14 Armada
06:14have suffered losses in Ukraine from Western anti-tank guided missiles.
06:19Israel's Trophy APS is something Russia has struggled to achieve.
06:24These work in combat and could be a relevant solution
06:26for the problems faced by Russia on the battlefield.
06:29Russia likely wants to study and counter or emulate Trophy-style systems
06:33for its own use and exports.
06:36The country wants to learn from Israel.
06:38This is a major win for the country,
06:40considering how incredible Russia is in its defense power.
06:44Out of all these countries, China is a silent watcher.
06:46China's VT-4 and Type 99 tanks are modern, but not as proven in combat.
06:53With Israel offering a real-world testing ground for military hardware performance,
06:57China wants to study Israeli tank tech to improve its domestic systems,
07:02inform export strategy, and plan for potential AI-integrated warfare.
07:07China not only aims to take the combat power of the tanks,
07:10but also realizes the importance of integrating new changes,
07:14which will overcome the challenges faced by China on the battlefield.
07:18All the countries are interested in the Merkava main battle tanks
07:21for their incredible and unique features.
07:25Merkava is not just a tank.
07:27It's a glimpse into the future of ground warfare.
07:30Its combination of armor, AI, and survivability
07:34is reshaping how nations think about armored combat.
07:38This one tank can shift how nations plan their defense strategies,
07:42especially when it is as advanced and combat-proven as the Merkava of Israel.
07:47This tank is feared by the superpowers like Russia and China,
07:50as it's a redefinition of what armored warfare looks like in the 21st century.
07:55When a single tank can make old tactics obsolete and drive innovation worldwide,
07:59it becomes more than just a vehicle.
08:02It becomes a catalyst for global military evolution.
08:05And Merkava is one such.
08:08If your country could upgrade its tanks with one Israeli feature,
08:11what would it be?
08:12AI, trophy system, or front engine protection?
08:17If you were designing the next generation tank,
08:19what would you add the current ones don't have?
08:22Let us know through the comments.
08:24Your insights might strike a brand new innovation
08:26with the potential to change strategies on the battlefield.
