The flowers in the last two photos compliment the camo paint of the tank.

Or is it the other way around?
For some reason, I find these pics very depressing...

On the M60's, do they have a US-standard gunner's sight? The one in the picture above looks different.
Great pics by the way, thanks for posting.

Because the IDF's standard paint has changed over the years...

Note the line of Sherman based Soltam heavy mortars behind and to the right of the T-72.
Those would look cool in any museum.

Wicked! That mortar carrier would rock as a kit.
Can anyone find this graveyard on Google Earth? I'd be interested to see that T62 from above. I've had a look at "tank graveyard Israel", but was unable to locate this one...

They were (maybe still are...) for sale (0.25 US$/kg).

Lets see .... say 40 tons (no fuel, no ammo and maybe something else has been removed) at a quarter per kg -> 40000 x 0.25 = 10000 US $
Add shipping from Israel and you could have a Merkava in your backyard.
Absolutely guaranteed to drive any local peace activists completely mad

look for: "Shirjon Khativa 205 Monument". A bit to the upper left you will see the rows of tanks. But! Don´t be disappointed as you won´t be able to distinguish individual tanks, let alone any shape of a T-62.
Here (31.634910, 34.744036) you are right at the tanks.
