The Magach Hydra is a modification of the Magach 6R that was equipped with two large Hydra-70 rocket pods. During the early 1980s, this modification, meant to enhance the tank's ability to provide support for infantry, was offered to the Israeli Army but was ultimately rejected for unknown reasons. This prototype version of the Magach 6R had all of its Blazer ERA removed and had two Hydra-70 rocket pods, each carrying 17 rockets for a total of 34 rockets attached below the main gun.

Introduced in the Update 2.27 "La Royale", it marks the first time a tank with unguided rockets has been added to a tech tree without it being a premium vehicle. The Magach Hydra is almost identical to the Magach 6R, with the only differences between the two tanks being the lack of all its Blazer ERA and the two Hydra-70 pods mounted to the gun. Both the rockets and main gun are quite potent at destroying both heavy and lightly armored vehicles due to the decently powerful HEAT warhead of the M247 rockets and the powerful M111 APFSDS shell that this gun has access to.
