Merkava 4 Israel Defense Forces Main Battle Tank
The 65t Merkava 4 main battle tank entered full production in 2001 and began operational training with the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in July 2003. The first battalion of Merkava Mk 4 tanks entered service with the Israel Defence Forces in 2004.
The Ministry of Defence plans to manufacture between 50 and 70 Merkava 4 tanks a year and up to 400 tanks may be manufactured in total, although budgetary constraints put these numbers in doubt.

A Fistful of Dollars (1964)
A wandering gunfighter plays two rival families against each other in a town torn apart by greed, pride, and revenge.
From IMDB:
The Star Wars of westerns...
