  1. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 2

    Yes. The general direction is to add more abilities for data-collecting and sharing, as well as to reduce the crew for a logical extreme of a drone tank. The talk around the Merkava's replacement, the Future Land AFV, is that it would have a reduced crew of 2-3 and an ability to send drones...

  2. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 2

    I've explained it in the old thread, but I'll repeat here again. The 0.5 has two cables connected to the bolt release and to the trigger. Those cable run along the top of the turret, and are then tied up near the loader's hatch until he needs to use them, or go all the way into the turret if...

  3. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 2

    I don't think a missile tank can cover all the roles of a tank, but then again we are re-defining what the role of the tank is. If the missile tank is meant to destroy enemy formations or take out pinpoint targets, and an infantry IFV is developed at the same time, that sort of splits the role...

  4. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 2

    The thing is, I want to see if the missile tank can replace the gun tank, not just take a bunch of it's targets. The Pereh and earlier versions are meant for that - Taking care of alot of the hard targets for the armor. Naturally the IDF would need to start upgrading it's APCs into IFVs for...

  5. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 2

    It would need to be more than 12 launchers, and with a corridor for the driver to reach the rear door. The loader is possibly out. He has nothing to load, and the TC/gunner can work the radio. Without a turret, or ammo at the back, the driver can be moved to the back of the engine, with a...

  6. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 2

    Still classified. I assume modifications can be made either way now that the last Merkava 1's were taken out of service, but the difference in protection is relatively minor without 4th gen add on armour, and I meant putting a Pereh turret, be it M48 or a new one, on a mk.3/4 hull for a...

  7. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 2

    Hi guys. Congrats on the second incarnation of the thread Claymore! As some of you may already know, thanks to the efforts of fresh.co.il (link in Hebrew), the "Pereh" (פרא = Wild) tank was finally declassified by the IDF yesterday (cencorship had to give up eventually with pictures of the tank...

  8. WI:The end of the third temple

    A few misconceptions, myths, and faulty understanding of the YKW: Let's divide this question to two parts: Q: Will Israel lose, or believe it is about to lose the YKW, without Nickle Grass? A: No. Israel applied for emergency aide at the onset of the YKW, after the initial 48 hours of...

  9. Israel takes Damascus in Yom Kippur War

    The Israeli plans were to arty Damascus ASAP to get Syria out of the war. Arty units were sent behind enemy lines to bomb it starting on October 12th.

  10. Israel takes Damascus in Yom Kippur War

    The Israeli advance was halted by the Iraqi army and other Arab forces coming in. They could'nt push the Israelis back, the Israelis could'nt keep going. The war ended on the 24th of October on the southern front, but kept going on a low fire until The Agreement on Disengagement was signed, on...

  11. No Rum & Chocolate on the Western Front

    Soldiers get pissed off when you take away stuff they like. They get over it. Drunk soldiers get shot. Sugar rush runs it's course in ~5 minutes. It is followed by a sharp energy drop. The rush that natural adrenaline gives you is way better - It's free, and lasts pretty much from the get...

  12. No Rum & Chocolate on the Western Front

    Effect for the better. The rush that sugar brings is followed quickly by an energy drop. The Chocolate by itself is ok, but as part of the daily meals, not right before a battle. The alcohol dulls the senses and thinking. The effect on morale when you are about to charge a machine gun post...

  13. Somalia: Hand over bin Ladin

    Interestingly enough, if OBL stays in Somalia, he may very well be killed back in 1996 by Israel. IIRC, after the attemp on Mubarak in Ethiopia, Israel decided that OBL, who had a connection to the attack, is a risk to the Egyptian-Israeli peace (if Mubarak had died at the time, it was feared...

  14. Alternate Military Procurements

    Israel adopting the Gal rifel over the Galil.

  15. Alterntive History Armoured Fighting Vehicles

    Well then, let me confirm that thought. As a tanker, my original reaction was pretty much "yep, it works". Mentioning 60mm mortars, transmition in the front, infantry dismounts... kinda catches the eye of a Merkava tanker...:D Well done Claymore, you truly are gifted when it comes to making...

  16. Alterntive History Armoured Fighting Vehicles

    You know you're doing something right when your thread needs it's own sub-thread. I love it Claymore, saves a ton of time :D

  17. WI - Israel Doesn't Seize the Golan Heights?

    The question of taking the Golan was asked after Syria's lack of action. The reason it was still taken was that Syria was one of the major causes of the war, with repeated attacks on Israeli towns. The hights had to be taken, sooner or later. There is little reason for the Israeli cabint to...

    Well done Claymore, it looks amazing!

  19. What if Syria had Mig 29 in 1982 Lebanon War

    The soviet advisors in Egypt during the war of attrition said the same thing. I remember reading about Operation Rimon 20 from an Egyptian pilot's POV, how Russian pilots were making fun of the Egyptian pilots in the messhall for losing to the Israelis. The day after the air battle all the...

  20. A Levantine Affair (1982)

    First of all, welcom to the forum! A bit before my time, but a few names I found on wiki that seem possible at the time: Haim Bar-Lev Mordechai Gur Yitzhak Rabin Chaim Herzog
