The Merkava Mk.4M, a main battle tank developed and manufactured by
Israel, is known for its exceptional survivability. It features modular
armor, 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 armor atop the turret. The effectiveness of this upgrade in maintaining the tank's battlefield supremacy is yet to be confirmed through actual combat.
MENG will release TS-056 1/35 Israel Main Battle Tank Merkava Mk.4M w/Roof-Mounted Slat Armor model kit. The assembled model will be 267mm long, 114mm wide and 122mm high (incl. roof-mounted slat armor). This kit includes precision PE parts and provide two paint schemes.
