New images on the network show that the Merkava 3 Israeli tanks have received an antironous screen in the form of a pyramid, as well as special stripes on board, which should prevent magnetic homemade bombs. In recent weeks, Gas sector operations are ongoing, but the military has become less intensity. The Merkava 3 tank is in the process of gradual writing off, now the main operators of the machines are reserve units.
Since the beginning of the war in Israel, Merkava 3 and Merkava 4 have been equipped with "visors" to protect against drones. Currently, Merkava 3 has a more complex and standardized visor form. Visually, they look like that were made in the factory. They have stronger supports and frame at the top than on the previous designs. The very shape of the screens, which now have a raised center, visually reminiscent of a tent or pyramid, has also changed.
Thanks to the shape of the "visor", grenades, or other explosive devices that can fall on the ground. Also, the onboard screens received rubber inserts, which should interfere with the installation of explosives on magnets. It is unknown whether Merkava 4 will receive similar "visors". The density of the Gaza sector is difficult for the Israeli military. Fighters can bypass armored vehicles and beat or install explosives and hide in a tunnel.
