@ BlackEagle : How comparable are these Phoenix to the Sabras ? Better, slightly less capable or just different ?

I will make a separate thread about them two soon. I think Phoenix is more advanced as it got upgraded recently with the latest tech, unlike Sabra which got upgraded years ago with relatively with less tech. Of course Israel can develop a better version but it seems they are content with their Merkava 4.

It's not looking forward to any foreign machine right now. Arjun Mark 2 and FMBT are the future machines envisioned.
