Israel to improve tank protection United Press International - November 11, 1997 09:12 %INTERNATIONAL %ISRAEL %TANK V%UPI P%UPI By JOSHUA BRILLIANT RAMAT HASHARON, Israel, Nov. 11 (UPI) - Israel plans changes to its Merkava Mark II tanks after Muslim guerrilla rocket fire succeeded in penetrating its armor, a senior Israeli official said Tuesday. Shlomo Milo, president of Israel Military Industries, told reporters there would be ''some changes'' in the tank. ''I can't go into details,'' he said. Israelis have considered their locally designed and manufactured Merkava (chariot) tanks to be among the best and safest in the world. They have been used extensively in operations against guerrillas in the Israeli-occupied border ''security zone'' of southern Lebanon. However, rockets fired by Hezbollah guerrillas recently managed to penetrate the tank's protective armor. The Lebanese a-Safir newspaper said guerrillas overcame the protective shield by firing two rockets at the same spot. Milo said that General Israel Tal, who designed the Merkava, has been ''holding talks with us. But there is no decision on who will do the changes.'' -- Copyright 1997 by United Press International.
