Look at the low profile of the merkava tank thats pretty impressive. I mean where could an RPG possibly penetrate that tank it looks practically impossible. Isn't the merkava considered to be one of the best tanks in the world when concerned with crew safety and survival. I mean I've never heard of an israeli tank crew ever dying. Am I wrong whoever knows this tell me please and thank you
