Main thing about all these great pictures is that I can use bigger flags on my vehicles…
I hope either Trumpeter or Ryefield comes up with the “EItan” in styrene soon.
From what I’ve seen from video footage, the vehicle was legitimately trying to make a U-turn before being blasted by the tank crew. Wherever the passengers were fighters or a family, i do not know, nor do i intend to guess. War is a terrible thing to deal with and making second-guesses will get you killed. SO i don’t blame the tank crew for firing first, then asking questions later.
Some good views on IDF armour massed and ready.
Interesting attachment to the end of the gun barrel.
This is an interesting-looking truck. Any idea if it is a fuel truck or water truck, etc.? It looks like an M813 (? - M809 series anyways) 5-ton truck. Anyone have any more info and better pics of it?
Is there no-slip surface applied to the side of this Namer around the trophy? Kind of an odd place for it, isn’t it?
Definitely an 800 series 5-ton truck with an extended wheelbase with a 2000 gal tank.
Most likely to break up glare.
Interesting to notice that the usual white stripe on top of the gun barrel of the Merkavas is not present.
Thanks to all the contributors to this thread.
