Iarmor Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 On 10/24/2022 at 5:51 PM, Rad said: Israeli Sports Channel's motor sports broadcasters report from the IDF tank competition at the Golan Heights, April 2018. Competitors represent their brigades, including some reserve ones, equipped with Merkava Mk. 2s, 3s and 4s. At 2:00 in the video, Yom Kippur War veterans (invited to watch the competition) are interviewed. When asked what tank did they hated driving the most, they mention the M48A2C and the Sherman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-72/64 caught looking at their 9 o'clock while advancing, while a drone guides a t-72B3 into a firing position using thermals. T-72B3 has a huge advantage combined with the overhead view. Reported this is how they D/L milita operate currently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The footage is so blurry... they do both look like T72's of some stripe, but thats about it. Also, thermals aren't necessarily used here....the target is point blank on a clear day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted November 15, 2022 Members Share Posted November 15, 2022 Seems like about 80% of what they are firing over there is HE, very few APFSDS are loded. Seems like HE is adequate for killing T-xx tanks (and probably others too) most of the time, and otherwise the preferred munition for infantry support or even indirect fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, one could say all tanks there are T-72's, and would be correct to a certian extent, just varaints There is another vid of this engagment that is a bit (not much) clearer, and a short discription of said event. You may be mistaken on the thermals, many vids of thermals from drones, ground mounts atgms, T tanks etc.and, in various wave lengths in the visable spectrum. The purple device looks strange, but works.My guess, different manufactures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
