The Israeli army will receive a new generation of Merkava 5 Barak tanks
Israel in 2023 will start to receive a new generation of battle tanks called Merkava 5 Barak.
Here's What We Know
Within the next year, Merkava 5 Barak tanks will enter service with the Israel Defense Forces Armored Corps. They are equipped with the Trophy active protection system against anti-tank missile systems, as well as night and day vision cameras.
A new fire control system has been developed for the Merkava 5 Barak, enabling it to aim and destroy enemy targets in the shortest possible time. The Merkava 5 Barak will also feature a new electronic warfare defense system.
The Merkava 5 Barak replaces the Merkava 4. They, too, use the Trophy active protection system. The IDF has been operating the Merkava 4 for longer than originally planned, as production of the Merkava 5 Barak has been delayed by two years due to a shortage of funds.
