While looking up tanks I came across a thread that posted this image. They were saying it is a Merkava, but I think it's a Sabra. What do you think? |

To my , slightly trained eye's it looks like a late model M-60 , with a Blazer type external protection system added After a touch of research - I thinks its an Israeli developed derivative of an M-60 , have a look en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patton_tankand in particular the Israeli developments - toward the bottom - Magach 6 I'm not really into AFV's , but I am a model maker - and some shapes stick in the memory! |

Yeah, the Sabra is a modified M-60A3 |

"Cheer up!" they said, "It could be worse!" So I did, and it was.

The hull is definitely M-60ish: the Merkava has the engine in the front (partly to provide additional protection for the crew) so even the enlarged turrets they have in these days of composite armour are set further back.
