Does anyone have a source for images of any Mk.III or II with a mine plow attatched? Thanks

have drawings only...
and another drawings to build one with a dozer blade
(AEF design conversions)

regards

heres one.

What????

The old Concord reference, Merkava I, II, III Israel's Chaiot of Fire, has one of the plow, a few with the rollers, and one with a dozer blade.

whats the problem Gino? its a scan of the mine plow attached to a merkava glacis plate.

There is no picture in your post. just a banner with apples and Hebrew text (??).

strange, when I submitted the post it worked just fine...
anyway it's fixed now.

Now it works. Looks like the same M1 Mine Plow that is used on US Abrams and was used on M60 tanks. Can anyone confirm that it is the same M1 Mine Plow?

Unknown if it is the exact same system, but our replacement parts came from Israel and had funky national stock numbers that would sometimes give our class IX repair parts computer systems a fit (included some letters instead of all numbers).

the Israeli plows are manufactured by RAMTA of Israel (a subdivision of the IAI, also producing the D'vora and other kinds of fast attack boats in Israeli and foreign service) and were bought by the Danish army for it's Leo 1 MBTs.

I belive the US TWMP is either a domesticly manufactured RAMTA TWMP or the RAMTA being a licensed american design.

Minowitz Manufacturing is the domestic producer.

here's another one I scanned from a recruitment brochure.




edit: forgot to mention- thats a Mk.II it's mounted on. probably taken at an excercise in the early -mid 90s as the tank has the newer skirts as firstly introduced on Mk.IIIs but no roof armor and the FN MAGs seem to have been removed which is odd.
