some of the new modifications:
The new model offers additional crew protection and a more powerful, accurate fire-control system, produced by El-Op, the Knight
Mark 4 FCS. Optimized for urban combat, the Mark IV BAZ has been given improved armor on all sides including the top and even
underneath the tank with a removable "belly armor pack."
*R-OWS (Remote - Overhead Weapons Station), THOR & Trophy APS (ASPRO-A). is from 'Rafael Armament Development
Authority,' while the new redesigned turret bustle with the integrated Trophy APS was developed by IAI and built by Urdan ballistic
steel works. THOR Laser will defeat in place IED (Improvised Explosive Device), EFF (Explosive Formed Fragments) and the new
Iranian EFP (Explosive Fragment Projectiles). Also in August of 2007 Raphael announced M-TAPS (Multi Threat Armor Protection
System) which is a break-through technology of a new generation of appliqu� armor far more advanced than Chobham Armor which
is found on many US, English & NATO tanks today. It's a Hybrid reactive-passive add-on armor that is designed to defeat modern
Russian, Chinese and Iranian tank threats such as dual and tandem warheads. It is modular and very quick field repairable. It is even
effective protecting against IED, EFP and FSP including the Bushmaster high velocity gun ammunition
