LESSONS LEARNED: Merkava with roof

We laughed so hard when we saw all the Russian tanks with their roofs on the turret a year and a half ago. Against Javelins they were probably not very effective, but the longer the war in Ukraine goes on, the more we see vehicles and tanks with cages that are meant to protect against drone attacks by dropping into the hatches or against FPV drones. And now, one week into the war in Israel, we see the first Merkava tank with a "Cope Cage" additional protection on the turret. By the way, in addition to the Trophy APS active protection system. Someone must have been paying attention... we are curious to see if this is a test model or if we will see more of these soon.
