Hi Marsh, do you know if Trophy APS is going to be installed on Namers?

Panels save crew but not the tank. illustration: Yep they trick u. Turret is designed in the way so driver could climb out in any postion.

On the other hand less rounds in bustle means less chances of ammo explosion during the turret hit.

No, it's a new Mk4 hull. Seats are yellow http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/veh.../P1010207_3.jpg Here lots of pics: http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/veh...mera/Namera.htm

Namer internal pic: Cant find a toilet however

1) Rogatka is slingshot. 2) No, AFAIK. 3) 51 cal.

Recent Namer pic, by Yosifon from fresh.co.il :

I made a slide video with captured hezbollah's anti tank weapons:

The reason is simple: Israel doesn't have enough crews to drive subtanks. If Israel will train additional crews better put them in old good Centurion rather than in subtank.

Israel had max 6 regular armor brigades from 1968 till 1984, when was dispanded 14th brigade. In 1992 was disbanded 221th, so remained 4 brigades. In 2003 - 500th

You'r right, journalists often confuse between hit and destroyed.

Thanks. Well this text confirsm Ynet report about 2 lighly injured. I will try to find the original Maariv article.

Sorry but that's complete nonsense.

Anyone knows what are these little sacks on turret?

Or another story. They claim that Israeli tanks advancing from Metulah to Khiam were stoped by missiles 3.5 km from the border and forced to retreat. In fact Israeli tanks reached Marjayoun, which is behind Khiam, although one Mk3 tanker was killed. http://video.nrg.co.il/lib/wmv/570/849.wmv - video in Hebrew about it.

One of these incidents is described in video, however they claim they destroyed a Merkava

I dont like its armament. Main armament should be 40-50 mm, secondary - 7.62 mm.

Infamous inscription: Obviously its the same type inscprition that was written on missile boxes: Source

No, unlike the ATGMs, RPGs were not used widely. Its penetration is 600 mm behind ERA.

Not necessary, ERA is always a matter of probability.

Thanks. Wiki article also says that it has 400 hp APU, can anyone confirm that? Does not sound reasonable. Even 40 hp is a bit too much.

Some questions 1) How many rounds are in AL and how many in hull? 2) Is the hull ammo eqippied with blast doors? 3) What's that thing? http://sig.megapass.net/club/home1/archive.../3786_photo.gif

It is not so correct since Abram's bustle contains 34-36 rounds, while Leclerc's only 22. I.e. 1.6 times more. Interesting how Leclerc's armour is passing through gunner's sight.
