I wonder what model tank it was

Some kind of Merkava I’d guess, probably the 5. I’m surprised you are interested in the model in such horrendous circumstances, but each to their own I suppose.

Nonetheless, tanks in the mid-21st century will have plenty of new features. They will be smaller and lighter, and thus more mobile and easier to transport by air or sea. They will have hybrid or electric engines, launch their own drones, and have defensive systems to stop enemy drones. They will also be highly digital and automated, including extensive reliance on artificial intelligence.
