Israel try to export and find customers for the Israeli-made main battle tank Merkava

.
They do have original designs of their own. This ZTZ tanks is one hell of a beast with a deadly active protection system that permanently blinds enemy anti-tank soldiers using laser designators to paint the tank.

LOL, look at the type 99 they have, it looks similar. :D

Yes they do. :)
Type 99 similar to the Merkava?? Doesn't look so to me.

Perhaps more similar to a leopard Tank but definitely not the Merkava.

Tanks are never suited for Urban Warfare - there are add ons on Merkava like the Active Protection System etc, though they are not going to protect it from a high threat environment. If you are busy protecting a tank, you've already lost the war.
Actually it can be useful used with infantry, which the SAA does very very badly

Al Qaeda always use their tanks as support for infantry which is the good thing to do
