Tiger 1 reincarnation...?

How is a tire and a sandbag going to stop a TOW 2

That huge truck right after the "Achzarit Late" is actually a car bomb. The Arabic caption says the guy pictured in front of it is the "hero" suicide bomber (scum) who has it rigged with 8 tons, they say, and drove it into some road block

Thanks, Hisham. What about the very first picture on this page?

On the top plate, that word on top is "Handassa" = Engineering

On the lower plate, it says "spoils of war by Hussein..." then it's not clear

On the back plate, it says "Danger"

Nothing that makes much sense

Hisham

I think read somewhere that the explosion was so powerful that the magnitude level was very high.

Combat engineering "IS Style" No.2.

Combat engineering "Kurdish Style". You gotta give credit for creativity...

Is this...what I think it is...?



Yes. It is...



A sub-variant of the gas-tank mortar.

Those armor plates are a bit too..."patchy"...?



A rivet-counter's dream. It's kinda cute though, isn't...?



A beautiful design spoiled by a crappy paint-job...or a beautiful paint-job spoiled by a crappy design...? I'm confused...Anyhow, it must be one of the coolest police cars around.

Geeeez...I would make a better one in my backyard....and I don't even have a backyard. Another car bomb perhaps...?

Good ole' German engineering. Still going strong after 70 plus years...

This one doesn't look like a field modification. Any ideas? (I think the picture was taken in Iraq).

This would make a pretty simple, but cool project. Note the improvised mud-camo.

It is a Russian TOS-A1 MRL.


Available from Trumpeter in 1/35.

Yes Sir, that's the one. Is that post-Saddam purchase?

If this one was on "Top-Gear", it would definitely go on the "Sub-Zero" wall. Look at those curves! The sliding windshield armor! The V-shaped MG armor plate! The camo came out pretty well too. Love it!

"Flower Power" inspired conversion. Judging by those large gas bottles, could be a car bomb. Those palm trees remind me of the "Afrika Korps"...

Definitely...

"The TOS-1 was shown for the first time in public in 1999 in Omsk.

They were prominently used in the Battle of Grozny in 1999 by the Russian Army.

TOS-1As were first used in combat in Iraq in the recapture of Jurf Al Sakhar on October 24, 2014 from ISIL forces.

TOS-1 was used in Syria on October 10, 2015 by Syrian Army forces against rebel forces in Hama."

Thanks, Gino. Is it just me, or the second one in the background does seem to be a different variant?

That's the resupply vehicle

Thanks.
