F-16, first flight in 1974, in service in 1978 - Lavi, first flight in 1986, never in service ,... Note the time required for tests from the first flight to an approval for service. I won't mention that Lavi looks like a twin brother of F-16 ;) ,...

So, now when I have provided you with a proof that Merkava's major components like the engine, transmission, suspension and the cannon is not Israeli invention or product you want me to spend my time looking for something that's irrelevant with out those components ??? ,...

Read the sentence again and tell me where did I say that Turkey contributed American made armament invention ? ,...

Google 'F-35 Center Wing Assembly' Published on Mar 11, 2013 A time lapse video of the F-35 Center Wing Assembly production line in Marietta, Ga. ,...

The suspension is a Horstman-style transmission,, not a Horstman. “The improved 120mm smooth-bore gun has been developed by Israel Military Industries.” “ The transmission is an Ashot transmission.” From military websites. Your imagination knows no bounds. [“Your” company? I’m an American. But given your warped mind, any American who doesn’t agree with you is not an American. You have your own definitions for everything, even for who is responsible for making parts of tanks.]

Now you show your real ignorance, even the wiki notes that Merkava's transmission is Renk RK 325. This cannon was on Abrams' years ahead before you 'developed' and installed on 'your' Wunderkind ,... Thanks for correcting but it's still suspension made by Horstman Defence Systems Ltd. not a transmission.
