“梅卡瓦”坦克一直在以色列陆军中占据主力位置,被称为世界上最有传奇色彩的主战坦克。它的设计思路与当今世界主流坦克截然相反,但在历次中东战争中表现突出,受到许多坦克爱好者的推崇,并被不少人看成是未来坦克的发展方向,以色列也以“梅卡瓦”坦克为荣。然而在2006年6月,以色列军方突然宣布“准备停产该系列坦克”。这让世人迷惑不解,为什么一直被被誉为“世界上防御最好的坦克”会被突然放弃呢?以色列军方的理由是:“梅卡瓦”坦克在近年来的冲突中损失惨重,造成大量伤亡,巳不能满足以军的未来需要。但有不少人认为真正的原因是美国为了推销自己的坦克而迫使以色列放弃“梅卡瓦”坦克。情况果真如此吗?“梅卡瓦”坦克之所以退出以军装备序列,以色列军方的说法还是比较客观的,“梅卡瓦”坦克之所以停产,不是因为美国原因而起,而是该系列坦克确实不能适应未来战争的要求。而停产的主要原因在于该坦克与众不同的发动机前置设计,从某种意义上讲,“梅卡瓦”坦克选择发动机前置是一个极大的错误。
“Merkava ” tank has been occupying the main position in the Israeli army, known as the world’s most legendary main battle tank. Its design concept is quite opposite to that of the mainstream tanks in the world today, but it has been outstanding in all the Middle East wars and respected by many tank enthusiasts. Many of these people are regarded as the future development direction of the tank. Israel has also used the “ Watts ”tank proud. However, in June 2006, the Israeli military suddenly announced that “it was ready to discontinue the series of tanks.” This puzzled the world, why has been hailed as “The best tank in the world ” will be suddenly abandoned? The reason the Israeli military is: “Merkava tank in recent years, the conflict The heavy losses and heavy casualties have not met the Israeli military’s future needs. But many people think that the real reason is that the United States forced Israel to abandon its ”Merkava“ tank in order to sell its own tank. Is this really the case? ”Merkava “ tank to withdraw from the Israeli military equipment sequence, the Israeli military’s argument is still relatively objective, ”Merkava “ tank was discontinued, not because of the United States, It is true that this series of tanks can not meet the requirements of future wars. The main reason for discontinuation is that the unique design of the front engine of the tank, in a sense, ”Merkava " tank to choose the engine front is a great mistake.
