While having a coffee and trying different search wording for Achzarit, I came across this unusual cruel woman.



Can anyone shed any light on where or when this photograph may have been taken, please?

thank you,

Kylie

Looks like you've finally found what you were looking for

I would guess this picture has been taken near the Gaza Strip border in July 2014, like these :

This is no phone box, or Trophy.
Inside these boxes there are laser warning sensors.

No, it's a telephone box.

It seems I was right about the date and location. Here are two views of the very same Achzarit :

and here's the caption (from the GettyImages website) "SDEROT, ISRAEL - JULY 06: Israeli soldiers stand by an armored personal carriers move to their deployment point on July 6, 2014 at the Israel/Gaza border near the city of Sderot, Israel"

Question about the droid. I am putting on on my Merkava. Is the droid just a warning sensor? It is listed as an Active system. Where/ how does the Active part come in?

No, I can't agree with You
Telephone box is mounted near to the rear door.



There are four boxes, one on each corner of vehicle.



You can see what is inside on this picture

thanks guys, for the input; I guess I beat Bono, who still hasn't found what he's looking for.

Frenchy, thank you for the link to the album, much appreciated.

OK now you`ve gone and done it,help the curiosity of a big IDF armour fan.If that`s the translation for that,does the term "Dalet" have a translation in relation to an upgraded tank ?.
