Deal Of The Century: One Hundred Thousand Palestinians Enter The Egyptian Border
The Israeli media launched a sharp attack on Egypt after publishing pictures of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi inspecting the students of the Military Academy, with an explanation of how to destroy the Israeli Merkava tank in the background. Most of the media in Israel highlighted this visit by the Egyptian President, and considered it an implicit, blatant threat to Israel not to invade the Palestinian city of Rafah.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi reviewed the special training of the Egyptian Armed Forces to learn how to confront Israeli tanks, in addition to studying the weak points in the defense systems of the tank, which is considered the pride of the Israeli industry. The Israeli news website “nziv” said that this development comes after Israeli threats to invade the Palestinian city of Rafah, adjacent to the Egyptian border.
There are several versions of the Merkava tank: Chariot-1, Chariot-2, Chariot-3, and Chariot-4, which is the latest version developed for Chariot-3. The Israeli Merkava 4 tank is considered an advanced tank that includes many defensive and offensive technologies, and contains an active defense system known as the “wind suit” system, which can intercept anti-tank missiles before they reach the tank’s body.
The Chariot 4 tank is designed to provide advanced protection for its crew and has modular armor that can be replaced or upgraded to adapt to changing conditions. The site explained that it had been noted that there were weak points in the tank that could be exploited. For example, the “Yassin-105” missiles, which were developed by the Palestinian “Hamas” movement and used in the ongoing war against the Israeli army, were able to overcome the tank’s defensive armor using two tandem warheads. The first penetrates the first armor and the second explodes the main armor to penetrate it and achieve the goal of destroying the tank.
It is worth noting that the tank has thick armor, but the thin armored part can be targeted and is a weak point located under the turret. According to military experts, there are different techniques and strategies that can be used to deal with the active defense systems possessed by the Israeli tank.
The Hebrew website presented some examples that can be used to target the Merkava: Electronic warfare: The use of electronic warfare technology to neutralize the enemy’s radar and communications, and prevent the detection of a tank or armored personnel carrier. Direct Attacks: Use soft kill mechanics that can disable direct attacks. Multiple threats: launching multiple missiles at the same time from different directions to increase the chance of overtaking the system.
nziv said that the Egyptian army is studying how to confront Israeli Merkava 4 tanks and the Goliath defense system. The website added that if the President of Egypt believes that he threatens Israel despite all the existing relations between the two countries within the framework of the peace agreement, then he is mistaken. The Hebrew website said that Israel must do what is right to maintain its security so that an enemy of the lowest levels cannot attempt to carry out his plot against its population again!, he said.
