A photo that has to be posted.
I wonder what the driver got for this one?
And the usual questions, male or female driver and were they using their mobile phone at the time?
Could be a different subject for a dina.

Yes indeed,

Tank is secured to the high ramp to two Merkava tanks to secure falling forward up side down. Cables are connected to 2 rear shackles.

Tank was back to service after a week of intensive checks,
Gun was "springing back" and firing was without any problems.
