The 7.62mm coaxial and 12.7mm swivel-mounted machine guns and 60mm grenade launcher complement the fire power of the tank. The Mk.4 is armed with a 120mm MG253 smoothbore gun capable of firing high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) and sabot rounds, as well as LAHAT anti-tank guided missiles.
The tank entered service with the Israel Defence Forces in 2004 and is regarded as one of the best-protected tanks in the world. The Merkava Mark IV is the latest version of the Merkava range of main battle tanks built by MANTAK (Merkava Tank Office). The ammunition rack also employs blow-off panels to protect against explosions. The tank incorporates composite armour and explosive reactive armour (ERA) for all-round protection against direct fire. The maximum speed of 70km/h and range of 450km make the K2 highly mobile on the battlefield. The secondary armament includes 7.62mm and 12.7mm machine guns. The K2 Black Panther’s primary weapon is a 120mm smoothbore gun, which can fire advanced kinetic energy ammunition and is equipped with autoloader for on-the-go ammunition loading, even in rough terrain. The Black Panther entered service with RoKA in 2014. The MBT is intended to offer high mobility, firepower and self-protection. The K2 Black Panther (Korean New Main Battle Tank) is a modern MBT developed by Hyundai Rotem for the Republic of Korea Army (RoKA). The Perkins-Condor CV12 engine of the tank ensures a maximum on-road speed of 59km/h and off-road speed of 40km/h. The second-generation Chobham armour of the Challenger 2 offers a high-level of protection against direct fire weapons. The tank can carry 50 Armour Piercing, Fin Stabilised, Discarding Sabot (APFSDS), high-explosive squash heads (HESH) and Soke rounds, as well as 4,000 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition. The 120mm 元0 CHARM (CHallenger main ARMament) gun of the Challenger 2 provides primary firepower while a C-axial 7.62mm chain gun and a turret-mounted 7.62mm machine gun serve as secondary weapons. Promoted as the world’s most reliable main battle tank by its producers, the capabilities of Challenger 2 were proven during combat missions in Bosnia, Kosovo and Iraq. The MBT was designed and manufactured by British Vickers Defence Systems (now BAE Systems) based on the Challenger 1 tank. The Challenger 2 (CR2) is the main battle tank of the British Army and the Royal Army of Oman.
