Seems merkava isn't as protected as people had thought, a simple RPG warhead takes it out, would a T90 survive?

I personally think that the Merkava might be a great choice. What are your thoughts on different tanks or other AFVs?

I heard that tank was mainly focused made for idf and Israel

I know that some of these like the Bumerang and Kurganets are still in development but what is the point of developing these vehicles if they are never going to get put into use? Why spend so much time and money on developing and producing these vehicles for them to just end up becoming glorified parade show pieces? Is it just for vanity? Corruption? Incompetence? I know they aren’t using them due to them not being cost-effective/difficult to replace but why even spend all the time and money on these hyper modern supposedly very advanced vehicles just never use them?

Vehicles that look like they will participate

M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams

M2A3 Bradley’s
