This is really nice video of the Israli Army's new Merkava IV.
Interesting features:
No Loader hatch with ultra thick roof armor
Rotary revolver type magazine for the ready use ammo
Camera system all around for improved close in
visibility and awareness while buttoned up.
Electronic queuing system for the commander to direct the driver (non verbal)
Ground to air engagement of low helicopters with
unguided kinetic kill or HEAT rounds
