Not a tankie, just love tanks. Once a conscript, forever a reservist. If you're interested in the IDF, you've come to the right place.

I swear to God one of the most exciting parts about entering Gaza will be the fact I won't be on Twitter and seeing all the god awful takes on this conflict.

An interesting comparison I found between the turret sizes of a Merkava 4, Leopard, and a T-90. The Merkava is a big boy!

Today, 51 years ago, Israel's neighbors launched a surprise war on its holiest day: Yom Kippur. Some Israeli beach goers witnessed a dogfight above them the morning of. We're lucky they had a movie camera with them.

What do you want us to say? This is the entire point of nuclear deterrence. What's your point? Literally every nuclear power operates like this. This isn't a uniquely Israeli concept.

After 4 months of war, I'm finally getting released. They've been the most enjoyable and meaningful time of my life, but it's time to move on. The hardest part isn't adjusting back to normal, but to leave my conscript friends still fighting. They only have 6 Hamas battalions left

A simple 40 mm grenade launcher with a buckshot cartridge able to reach 200+ metres should be pretty good personal drone defence weapon.

Here's a montage of some tank combat in Gaza. There's some great rarely seen guncam footage sprinkled in as well. Too bad the quality is low.

While in Khan Younis, I was always asking myself where all the paved roads were. I guess Hamas spent the budget on terror tunnels and rockets instead. 🤷🏻.

Israel views winning a battle as a great victory and something to celebrate. Hamas clowns view a single destroyed tank as a victory and something to celebrate as it's the only thing you'll get.

There's such a massive disconnect between what people think is happening in Gaza, and what's actually happening. I didn't see a single civilian throughout the whole month I was there. It was like playing in an empty Battlefield lobby. Quite surreal.

🚨 Hawk Tuah just went viral over her statements on the future of tanks. "It's understandable to worry about the proliferation of cheap fpv drones, but to believe that tanks are irrelevant now is a fallacy that requires a belief that tech & tactics are static and don't evolve."

📣 Statement from the Chief of Staff's Office 📣:."Due to irreplaceable losses within the IDF's Armored Corps, the bulk of our brigades will be supplemented by Humvees retrofitted with cannons, nicknamed "Charta". They are already in the process of entering the battlefield. "

I'm Kahalani, a former Merkava 4m Driver who got out in 2020. I'm currently in the process of signing up for reserve duty because I'm sick in the head and love tanks. This does not make me an authority figure in any way, but I can offer my experience and perspective to help.

Not only do I think that this makes the Americans look awesome, the Chinese are literally portraying themselves as too incompetent to throw molotov cocktails and the clip shows two Chinese soldiers on fire. What was the CCP thinking when making this???
Ok so Chinese propaganda movies still make Americans look like unmitigated badasses?

Yesterday I went to the Israeli Model Maker Club's bi-annual event and was blown away by their Models. Here are my top 3!. In 3rd place is this elaborate and busy diorama of an M109 SPG crew just outside of Gaza. I love how the this piece shows the over-abundance of donations!

These propaganda videos make no sense. Here's a short thread on how Goofy this all is. 🧵.
#Palestine / #Israel 🇵🇸🇮🇱: "Al-Quds Brigades" reportedly destroyed #IDF 'Merkava' Main Battle Tank with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in Al-Zeitoun, #Gaza. Some of the IEDs appear to be based on unexploded Mark 80 (Mk-80) series aerial bombs dropped by Israeli Air Forces.

Thanks. When Hamas uses schools to manufacture weapons and use them as strongholds, we have no other choice but to remove the threat. Thankfully the school had been given plenty of time to evacuate so no civilians were at threat.

The past few hours here have shown me how little people know about war, tanks, and tactics. I'm going to sleep now with a huge smile on my face seeing all the shit I've stirred over the month. I had no idea this was happening. Good night lovers and haters.

This CVC (Combat Vehicle Crewman) helmet saved the life of a reservist after getting shredded by shrapnel. Tankers need to see this image as many get lazy and take the helmet cover off for more comfortability.
זו הג'נטקס של החבר הכי טוב שלי שנפצע אתמול בלחימה בעזה. מילואימניק בן 38, בוגר הסדר, אבא ל5 ילדים שכבר קיבל פטור וחזר לשירות עם תחילת המלחמה. המקצועיות של לא להוריד את הכיסוי הקשיח מהקסדה, הצילה אותו. הוא עם רסיסים רבים בראש, בצוואר,בגב,בידיים, אבל חי. תהיו מקצועיים.תהיו פורת.

Jesus Christ, this is the propaganda video the rape triangles gloat over? A clear miss? Better yet, there's no such thing as a Merkava 4 "Baz" in the first place.

Comparing me to a father who's kept his 5 year old daughter's sock on him as a keepsake while in Gaza for 4 months isn't the own that you think it is. You on the other hand look like you have a court mandated order preventing you from being within a mile of any school.

Hello. It's been awhile. I have a treat for y'all tomorrow though. I'll be meeting an IDF Sherman tank commander who fought from the 50's until the 80's throughout his whole service. Please write any questions have for him and I'll hopefully answer them!

OK. Here are all of your questions answered by Tank Commander David (closest in pic) in this thread. They will be accompanied by a few of his own personal pictures he took while in the service. Let's begin!

Good morning. I forgot to show some of the Hamas posters plastered around the classroom. Gazan youth are unfortunately taught extremism at an early age. It's genuinely disheartening to see kids brainwashed into supporting terrorists. Google lens translation is under this post.
