They should have used the 1083 that rear end has a pretty good sag to it.

Nice catch, H.P., of the Ofek deployed downtown Gaza!

Are these also command vehicles (HEMTT) near the Ofek? Aside from the fuel truck.

That’s a big generator. Looks like a Caterpillar diesel housing.

Can I ‘like’ it more than once? And another Achzarit classic, too.

I’ll be brutally honest. I am currently infatuated with the Merkava Mk.4M and with the Namer HAPC. Same with the Achzarit. Beautiful pieces of kit.

This is the advantage for us paint sniffers, a current conflict with up-to-date photos, cut and paste for future ref! No war mongering, the politicians do that, we just record history in miniature. :wink:

Looking closely at the Merk IV in the foreground, there is the tube for main gun rounds that fail to fire, on top of the left side of the turret.

Best optioned Merkava yet?

Never mind Trophy active protection system that ones has a poop chair.

Ultimate combat luxury!

Serious crane for recovery.

Large dio idea ?
