The Merkava (“chariot” in Hebrew) is an Israeli main battle tank developed since 1974 and put into mass production in 1979. The design team was led by Major General W. Israel Tal, one of Israel's most distinguished armored officers. The Merkava is the result of the Israeli army's experience in the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War. The Israel Defense Forces commissioned the design of the Merkava tank to guarantee itself an independent source of heavy military equipment. The designers of the car were primarily guided by the idea of surviving the car on the battlefield, which is why the Merkava is distinguished by innovative armor that perfectly protects the crew members
