Is it wise to have fuel tanks exposed at the bavk??
Could shoot em with .50 cal from far away or machine gun fire maybe??
That'd be a big boom. I bet.
Diesel doesnt catch fire that easily either.Is it wise to have fuel tanks exposed at the bavk??

Actually any type of fire from the back is extremely hazardous to a tank. But since it is the less-exposed aspect of the tank, therefore engine and fuel tanks are generally found there.
Here is where the mechanized infantry comes in. They move everywhere with the tanks in M113s, one of their main tasks being providing close support to advancing tanks so that they do not get surprised from enemy infantry or anti-tank teams.
In my auto upkeep class the teacher said diesel is more flammable as it can be ignited just by compression. Whereas, gasoline ignites with a flame/spark?
Makes sense. But didn't Hezbollah anti tank teams in Lebanon take advantage of Israeli tanks back side when they used to pop out of man holes shoot atgms/rpgs and then run away? (So I've heard from elders I was pretty young when both Lebanon wars happened, so I could be wrong)
Unless you are stealing from flipped over tankersDiesel doesnt catch fire that easily either.
Exactly, diesel is volatile to compression as you said, not to bullets or sparks.
What happened with the Merkavas happens if there is no infantry support with tanks.
So Israelis were too over confident??
And it was relatively a new tank recently developed.
Any word on Hamza MCV or LAVA as it's called. Last mention was in 2016-2017 MoDP yearbook I believe. So many small countries have their own wheeled 8x8 or 6x6 APCs/IFVs(whatever they're called).
