Meng 1:35 Merkava Mk.4M

The Merkava Mk.4M, a main battle tank developed and manufactured by Israel, is known for its exceptional survivability. It features modular armour, allowing for quick replacement in case of damage, ensuring the tank can return to the battlefield promptly. Its 'Trophy' active protection system is capable of detecting incoming threats and deploying a barrage made of self-forging fragments to effectively defend against enemy attacks.

Recent conflicts have introduced new challenges in the form of suicide drones and miniature drones equipped with explosives. These threats from the sky can circumvent the 'Trophy' system's defensive range, targeting the more vulnerable top of the tank's turret. In response, Israel has enhanced the Merkava Mk.4M with slat armour atop the turret. The effectiveness of this upgrade in maintaining the tank's battlefield supremacy is yet to be confirmed through actual combat.
