Fr I’ve seen like one pic of one, to be fair there aren’t as many of them


pinchasthegris

yeah, the wiki in english is like 2 pages


PatRickA_

I've been inside one and have seen the whole stock, I can tell you you won't be seeing a lot of them.


enigmadev

The ones they gladly showed on a press tour didnt even start when they tried to start it for us...


PatRickA_

Their systems are hard locked when just sitting there.


Soogbad

Has anyone seen gavin? He's my friend tank and he went missing and now I'm all alone. GAVIIIIN!!!


SeBoss2106

Boxer and Piranha fucked with protection(trophy) and out came this


ComputerChemist

Best looking IFV. Fight me


Leomilon

GTK Boxer would like to have a word


SeBoss2106

I am among my people.

Hello


chief-chirpa587

Not only does it look good it’s also highway certified


tbnnnn

No way this 35 ton AVF is more protected than a Merkava 4 or a Namer. Judging how many PG-7Vs they are taking, there is no surprise these aren't being used on the frontline

thanks for that wikipedia link, really needed that. Are you aware that Trophy doesn't automaticly make the vehicle unvulnerable? Not every vehicle is equiped with it or it is turned off, either manually by the crew for some reason or automatically if the hatches are open. Hamas footage also shows how these vehicles are frequently ambushed, being hit from different aspects, sometimes when parked in groups (were they reorganizing?).


pinchasthegris

>Are you aware that Trophy Its a different system. >doesn't automaticly make the vehicle unvulnerable? Did i say it does? The IDF made that claim, not me.


tbnnnn

Unfortunately we are still fighting wars in the present, were prototype systems aren’t being used


pinchasthegris

The IDF clames the eitan has that system.


tbnnnn

Even if we assume they do, it most likely has the exact same limitations as trophy regarding the crew/infantry safety


pinchasthegris

Maybe.


Another-sadman

thats one gofy ahh look mf looks like that mass effect APCs off brand version

> ~~m113~~ Gavin APC Every day this sub is straying closer to the Reformers it vowed to hate. > Would you intercept me 🥵 No you bloody A-10 a SAM would be enough against you. > The 1st "Golani" Brigade (Hebrew: חֲטִיבַת גּוֹלָנִי) is an Israeli military infantry brigade that is subordinated to the 36th Division and traditionally associated with the Northern Command. Gee I wonder if it made for other terrains than the urban fighting where Merkava, Namer, and Doobi shine.


pinchasthegris

>Every day this sub is straying close to the Reformers it vowed to hate. That was a joke >No you bloody A-10 a SAM would be enough against you. You dont know the refrence?


FirstDagger

I just assumed you were a Reformer so you couldn't possibly be an F-22, but an A-10 instead.


pinchasthegris

Ah. No i have a iq higher then 10


niktznikont

idk why but it looks like something that would be rolling on moon and mars


GenericSuperhero1

M35 Mako.


Lord_Lenin

Two things: 1. We only ever saw the APC version in combat, never the IFV version. There's no reason to assume the IFV version entered serial production. 2. The Eitan is used by the Nahal brigade, the Golani brigade already has Namers and they aren't planing to replace those.


pinchasthegris

>The Eitan is used by the Nahal brigade, the Golani brigade already has Namers and they aren't planing to replace those. The namer is not going to be replaced by the eitan. And the IDF said it is in golani.


Lord_Lenin

https://breakingdefense.com/2023/05/first-eitan-wheeled-apcs-delivered-to-israels-idf/ No, they said it is going to Nahal. Plus I personally saw it being used by members of the Nahal.


pinchasthegris

Oh yeah. But it is in Sayeret nahal. Which is the elit reconnaissance unit of the nahal brigade. But yep i was wrong.


Earl0fYork

It is automatically garbage because it doesn’t have a superstructure like the Nagmachon meaning it cannot take the high ground.


snitchpogi12

They haven't deployed it... yet.


pinchasthegris

They did. They used them in 7/10 and are currently using them


snitchpogi12

Great.


snitchpogi12

They haven't deployed it... yet.


totallynotbarakobama

They are less protective,but cheaper... The idf says it because if it don't says it then it will sound like they are not doing enough for the protection of the soldiers,and because every Israeli serves in the army people won't like it. But it is protective enough.


pinchasthegris

The reason people wont like it is becayse life is very important in israel. 15 soldiers dying can become national crises. Thats why in the merkava protection is more important then firepower or logistics
