1/ #AFVaDay Following the #Carmel news last week it seems there remains much confusion. Some defence media reporting it is a modernisation programme, or a platform agnostic upgrade package have really confused things and are wrong, so todays #AFVaDay is to clarify things.
2/ Carmel is a new AFV for the IDF, born out of the cancelled Merkava Mk5 programme. Previously dubbed Future Manned Combat Vehicle (FMCV) it is a medium weight AFV family, seeking < half Merkava Mk4 weight via use of soft/hard APS in place of physical armour as much as possible.
3/ As with all IDF AFV, it is being designed for combat in confused and dense urban environments, requiring high survivability, relatively small size and very high situational awareness.
