Adraste got a reaction from Stimpy75 in Israeli AFVs
The Elbit Sigma (which is supposed to replaced the venerable M109 in IDF service) is taking shape. Production models are still months/year beyond

I’m not sure we can regard Pereg Rakham as gormless vehicles.
They developed a generic architecture for Merkava rebuild platform to perform different tasks.
What is your proposal to provide a repair vehicle ?

Adraste reacted to N-L-M in Israeli AFVs
The MTU 883 is not at all smaller than the AVDS 1790. The engines are approximately the same length, similar width (though the 883 is square and the AVDS is trapezoidal in section and a tad wider at the top), and with the cooling system on top similar height (though the MTU has a more optimised slope for hiding behind the glacis). You would note, that the engine compartment on the Merk 4 is not notably shorter than the same on the Merk 3.
Likewise, the Renk 325 transmission that goes with the 883 is slightly fatter than the Renk 304 which goes with the 1200 HP AVDS 1790, so there's no real room saved in the engine compartment. Definitely not the approximately 60 cm you'd need to cram in another seat.
I would also question the tactical utility of being able to seat more people in a Namer, as it already carries a full infantry squad.
The IDF don't appear to have said anything about it yet, but they tend to keep quiet anyway.

The latest iteration of Merkava is called Mark 4 Model 400, which has a newer C2 system and enchaned TROPHY (you can tell by the added optical sensor). kinda interesting because although MK 4 had seen many modifications and improvements throughout the years this is IMO the first time that the IDF officially names a new Mark 4 version
