Something cool:
Swap out the MICLIC for Spike-NLOS & you’ve got a modern Pereh!
What the he…. ![]()
So, this is akin to the Israeli “Pereh” missile launcher - made to look like a Magach tank, but it has a Spike NLOS missile launcher.
Interesting.
Yep! That’s what I said in my initial post.
Disguising one HVT as another HVT. ![]()
*slightly less rare HVT
Looking at the image, I can guess this M1150 was once a USMC vehicle (USMC-specific smoke launchers removed and replaced with Army-specific ones) .
ERA brick brackets removed from turret… Hmmm, lotta questions here.
If I were going to go through the trouble, I’d disquise it as an M88A2 - fiberglass boom and engine deck, and give it the ugly dog treatment - teach it to drive backward.
Something tells me that image was photoshopped
If I’m going to hang something off the front of that pillbox, why not a mortar or an engineering howitzer? I mean, if I’m trying to kill that MICLIC chassis, am I going to do it differently because it looks like a gun tank?
I dunno, there is a shadow from the barrel across the dozer blade
Thats at the NTC? Maybe simulating an M1 for training / id purposes?
Comes down to (enemy) doctrine, I guess. Back in the day, developing engagement areas, the high value target matrix in the defence was generally, in priority order, specialist vehicles (bridging, breaching, or recovery), command vehicles, tanks, IFV, APC.
Doctrine isn’t universal, but I see the value in a dummy barrel on a HVT, be it a breacher or a long range missile truck.
