Wonder how often they throw track's on the rocks?
What's interesting is seeing theses Merkava's running across the rock's with impunity. I wonder what frequency tracks are thrown in this kind of terrain for the Merkava's?
The Merkava is specially designed for driving on the "basalt-rocks" on the Golan-height.
Due to its heavy armor many people belive that the Merkava is a "bunker on tracks".
In fact it is very agile.

But this one got stuck.....
The one that got stuck is a Merkava 3 and not the four. This can be seen by the second hatch on the turret. Merkava 4 has only one hatch.
Great video thanks. Does any one know what the speaker is saying when it shows the M1 abrams and the leclerc.
Great video.Merkeva 4 one of my favorite tanks!
He is saying that the Merkava has the same engine as the French Leclerc, and is comparable in weight and speed to the US M-1.
he is saying that the Merkava has an engine similar to the leclerec, and it has similar in speed to the Abrams.
edit: was beaten to it by Aleksandr.
Cool thanks. They must have upgraded the merkava's engine because i thought the older version was slow compared to the abrams.
The M-1 uses a gas turbine engine, similar to the one used on helicopters. The previous Merkavas' used the derivative of the AVDS-1790 engine. While the Merkava 4 uses a General Dynamics GD883, which itself is a licensed production of the German MTU883. So yes, Israel did improve the engine.
Cool thanks for the info.
