Regarding merkava it was their idf own downfall

They was proud of their merkava being invincible to any attacks by hamas/hezbollah etc. They even make information on the tank protection public which hamas eventually studies the tank design and exploit it weakness.

One of it is the proud hyrid troop carrying capabities of the merkeva. Hamas eventually start ainming at the door and ignore the rest of the area. Tat way they could kill all the troop inside even they didn't destroy the tank. One tank destroy so wat? Kill a soldier inside have more longer lasting fear factor. Eventually, idf stop carring troops on the merkeva

Another was, the space between the turret and hull. In merkeva, there a huge gap especially at turret rear. They will just fire cheap rpg7 into tat space , tat will jam the turret or if lucky kill the gunner. Now tat space is lined with heavy steel chain and ball in hope the rpg will explode outside

Another was shooting it weak tracks and waiting for the crew to come out repair them. After they come out, more rpg barrrage and sniper will hunt them. Back then, idf seldom use recovery vehcicle with their tanks

Last was the most funny so far i read about. Was how the counter the thropy aps. That was actually firing 3 rpg in the same time. 3 in line will fire, in hope thropy will counter first two and miss the third. Thropy is not 100% effective similar to others. Another source claimed that that techique was discovered by the chenchn rebel when they face russian tank armed with arena aps

It was also claimed, that how the russian develop their latest rpg to counter mordern aps systen.
