In Israel, Trophy has been widely implemented on Merkava IV tanks and later versions of the Merkava III — the system has proven itself in conflict areas: Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and the Golan Heights, providing a revolutionary level of crew safety in combat conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents and Application:\u003c\/strong\u003e The EA35-066 E.T. Model set includes extremely precise photo-etched components, enabling a faithful reproduction of the WindBreaker system on Merkava tanks. It allows for the construction of all the complex details of APS sensors, panels, and launchers, significantly increasing the model’s realism. Thin, flexible metal parts achieve effects impossible to replicate with just standard plastic kit parts.
