Fallout Re: MBT's

I went to check one of my sites I use and across something concerning the
Israeli PEREH based on the refs. below it would suggest the following...
ISRAEL/CHANGE/PEREH/UNIT 690/END/DEC 2017/VICE/DEC 2025//
We've known for some time now they've been using other platforms NLOS operations and given those Magach 5 tank chassis came into service using our UNIT 025 START DATE JAN 1978 END DEC 1993 they would've been in operational service for 39 years. They had to have become a "logistical nightmare" to maintain. That's probably why the Israelis "declassified" them in I believe it was DEC 2015.

Also, CHALLENGER 3 has a confirmed impressive record.
