Now that particular Bradley with that camo is some serious stuff for modeling.

If, like me, oyuโre working on one, you may have noticed two distinct kinds of cammo. Not patterns mind you, but typees - one with ther darker stripes separating some of the color blocks.

I imagine they will be getting a lot more use in the direct ground fire support roleโฆ Which they should be nice and effective at
Slow and low flying Iranian drones should be perfect targets
There seems to be a small chance that an older Merkava might appear in Ukraine.
It seems that Israel is opening itโs depotsโฆ
It is highly probable that they will only be used to replace different tanks sent to Ukraine, but I would love to see them on probably the most diverse battlefield in recent historyโฆ

Interesting; Merkava Mk2 or Mk3 tanks in Ukraine? Wow.
I know the Mk3 Merks were produced in large numbers (780 produced per Wikipedia).
How many of those chassis have been re-used for other purposes?
The prototype Namer heavy APC was built on a Mk1 hull, and they used Mk2 hulls briefly, but as of 2005, theyโre building them on new production Mk4 hulls.
They also used Merkava hulls to build the Sholef 155mm SPG.

Merks and Leos fighting side by side?! 
Who wouldโve seen that happening? German and Israeli armor on the same side of the fight.
