About IDF Merkava MK IV:
The Israeli Ministry of Defense hosted a roll-out ceremony for the new Merkava MK IV main battle tank on June 24, 2002. The 65-ton Merkava MK IV entered full production in 2001 and is scheduled to be in service with the Israel Defense Forces by 2004. The Ministry of Defense plans to manufacture between 50 and 70 Merkava MK IV tanks per year, with initial estimates indicating that up to 400 tanks will be produced.
The Merkava MK IV has undergone significant improvements, including new armor protection, gun systems, and electronics. It is slightly larger than the Merkava III Baz, which has been in service with the IDF since 1990. The Merkava II is available for export through SIBAT, based in Tel Aviv.
While the Merkava IV is not available for export, its systems and components are exported. The tank is capable of carrying eight infantry soldiers, a Command Group, or three litter patients (stretcher casualties) in addition to the tank crew, which includes a commander, loader, gunner, and driver. The tank can fire on the move at moving targets and has demonstrated a high hit probability in firing against attack helicopters using conventional anti-tank munitions.

The Merkava tank was developed in response to the needs of the Israel Defense Forces.
Official development of the Merkava began in the early 1970s.
The main objective was to design a state-of-the-art main battle tank that would protect the crew, provide high firepower and meet the challenges of the modern battlefield.
The latest model (Merkava IV) has been in service with the Israel Defense Forces since 2003.
True to detail on a scale of 1:16
The true to detail RC Merkava Tank measures approx 565x240x200 (LxWxH mm). The HengLong BB+IR Edition impresses with 2.4 GHz circuit board technology with integrated loudspeaker. Accessories such as matching stickers perfectly round off the true-to-scale replica.
Control and functions
The powerful model has a 2.4 GHz remote control and receiver. The power motors with optimized torque give the Merkava a precise and smooth steering system. Steel gears with robust gears and an improved gear ratio provide higher power. The proportional control allows you to start the tank very slowly and increase the speed smoothly. The Merkava moves forwards and backwards, also with a left and a right turn. It can also be turned left or right on the spot. You can lift and lower the gun and rotate the turret 320 degrees (160 degrees each side). Various engine noises and smoke fumes from the mufflers round off the realistic experience.
