Merkava tanks

The word "Merkava" in Hebrew means a chariot. During the Six-Day War Western countries cut off the supply of military equipment to Israel and then the Jews decided that the Korean idea of ​​"chuchhe" (self-reliance), was not a bad idea, and domestic design will best suit local conditions and in general it would be cheaper to make on the homeland than all the time to buy abroad needed equipment.
