I've made videos talking about and busting tank myths in the past, but there wasn't an overall theme. I've recently decided to do more topical myth videos. For this one, we're going to be focusing on the Israel Defense Force's Merkava main battle tank. The Merkava is a pretty interesting and unconventional design, which has led to a number of myths and misconceptions forming around it. We're going to be taking a look at a few of them today.
