Magach (Hebrew: מגח, "Dough -Coç") is the definition of a series of tanks in Israeli service. Tanks are based on American M48 and M60 Patton tanks. The name continued to be used for all Patton tanks, including the M60. Magach 1, 2, 3. 4 and 5, M48 series is based on tanks and is based on Magach 6 and 7, M60 series tanks.
The first M48 Patton tanks purchased by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were purchased in the early 1960s with a secret weapon agreement from West Germany (M48a2 variant), then delivered from the United States after 1965 (M48a1 and M48a2c [1] tools). ) When Germany cancels more delivery after the agreement has emerged.
During the 1967 War, the Israeli tanks served in the original (American) configuration. Following the 1967 war, several dozen Jordan tanks seized during the six -day war of 1967 were added to 150, which was at the service at that time, and was assigned to IDF. Israel also replaced the 650 HP gasoline engine with a 750 HP diesel engine [quoted], resulting in more powerful and less vulnerable to fuel fires, resulting in Magach 3, changing the tank according to the M48A3 automotive standard. These changes also included the replacement of the original 90. The British 105 mm L7 and MM Top (US M68 equivalent), the commander's machine rifle mug with a lower profile urdan cupola and upgrade the communication package.
When the Yom Kippur war broke out, Israel had 540 M48 series (with 105 mm ball) and M60/M60A1 tanks. [2] [3] During the war, tanks suffered severe losses. It was discovered that the location of the flammable hydraulic fluid in front of the tower was a serious vulnerability. Egypt had destroyed numerous Israeli tanks, and only 200 M48 and M60A1 tank remained. Israel, most of these tanks on the Sinai front, 9m14 Malyutka tank missiles, equipped with opposing settled Egyptian infantry. [2] Israel replaced war losses in the 1970s with the new M48a5 (Magach 4 and 5), M60 (Magach 7) and M60a1 (Magach 6). The old M60s (still using smaller M48 -style turret) were supplied to relieve enough M60A1 deficiency, which explains why the old model has a higher quality.
Before the Lebanese occupation of 1982 (1982 Lebanon War), Magach 6 and 7 tanks were equipped with explosive reagent armor (ERA). In the upgraded Magach 6 models, more studies were carried out, including a thermal cuff for new belly armor, merkava palettes, new shooting controls, pistols and fog bombs, and ultimately Magach 6B (BET) and the final 6b Gal Batash and equivalent were obtained. Magach 7C Gimel Models.
Since the 1980s and 1990s, Magachs gradually replaced Merkava tanks as Israel's main battle tank. However, the majority of IDF's armored troops continued to consist of Magach variants until the 1990s, and during this time the tank was constantly raised.
Until 2006, Merkavas was replaced by all Magachs in normal units. In July 2015, Israel officially announced the presence of Peh missile ship. Peh is a guided missile carrier disguised as a tank. A Magach is transformed into a peh tank hunter by replacing the main combat weapon with a tank -driven missile launch station. The original taret was enlarged to place a ladder under the armor for 12 "Tamuz" spike NLOS missile. Peh, disguised as a standard tank, is equipped with a fake ball barrel in front, but can be easily identified with a curved antenna on the roof of the tower planted in the ignition position; Additional features include additional front armor and storage boxes on the sides of the turret. Peh's paintings were first published during the protective edge operation in July 2014.
