The ultimate IDF pics collection :-)

[IDFM203]

Ok besides posting my own pics, I also posted a bunch of IDF SF/infantry pics that I feel are some of the best pics I have seen :D

Here are just a few highlights from the gallery that I set up.

P.S. I ask that “some” people here please remember that this is MilitaryPhotos.net and not political flamefest.net or Israeli/Pali flame debate.net and as such please restrict all or any comments strictly on the military aspects of these pics that were posted!!

Shalom :D

[ROY H]

cool

[Wilco]

The one thing I like about the IDF is that it seems to me no two soldiers look the same, wether they have different gear layout or different weapon layout. I've seen alot of different M4 setups and whatnot, I like that :D

I think it will be great if you add comments to the pics which have a story attached to them. For example, I remember the motorcycle story you told. Just thinking the world will benefit by knowing...

What pants are those? I don't remember seeing them before.


http://media.militaryphotos.net/photos/albums/album57/aby.sized.jpg
Is that antenna on his helmet? A flare?


http://media.militaryphotos.net/photos/albums/album57/abv.jpg
Isn't it a pic from some promotional poster/leaflet? If so, why is it censored?

http://media.militaryphotos.net/photos/albums/album57/abe.jpg

Is that a girl on the right? And is it scanned from a newspaper or magazine?

http://media.militaryphotos.net/photos/albums/album57/aai.sized.jpg

Hehe, is it just me or he went a bit too far with his mitzfenet?

http://media.militaryphotos.net/photos/albums/album57/aae.jpg

What Magav unit is that? YAMAS?

http://media.militaryphotos.net/photos/albums/album57/aad.sized.jpg

Is it wrong colour tinting or do those Magav operators wear OD BDU?

http://media.militaryphotos.net/photos/albums/album57/aaa.sized.jpg

LMAO. Shows once again that soldiers know how to improvise.


Not here, about this lets take it to PM's.........ok ;)
I'm curious as well :p Unless it's obviously tzanhanim.

I know jobniks that built a tennis court by spilling dead sea water on the sand of the base, when the sand was dry it beacame a hard surface so it was possibile to play tennis.

[Raistlin]

Here goes the debate about the statistical difference
in intelligence between jobnikim and kravim :lol:

[tenda]

great pic's, great army and great nation......!!!!! ;)

[big80a2]

jobniks.... hmmmz yeah well I think they are lucky ;) getting off to home.

It does use camouflage, but only camouflage suits and not uniforms:

P.S. I think that they are only used in wars.

Thanks for the link

[Raistlin]

Btw, how long have you been in UK?

[IDFM203]

First thanks to all that appreciated the pics and expressed that appreciation :D


The one thing I like about the IDF is that it seems to me no two soldiers look the same, wether they have different gear layout or different weapon layout. I've seen alot of different M4 setups and whatnot, I like that :D…..not to mention not just M4’s but there are also a lot of CAR15’s there as well ;) ……but yes there is a individual spirit and emphasis when it comes to tailoring your kit or gear (I guess kit for Brits and gear for yanks ;) ) to each individual soldier and there are various methods and ways in how each soldier tailors his gear specifically for his comforts.

To mack pl

I know there are some gortex in the IDF, but I don’t think its in that pic (though I can be wrong)

To Raistlin

First, I only added comments under my own personal pics, the other album I posted in my gallery were not pics of my time in the IDF, but rather pics from a whole mix of different units and as such I simply left it blank for I don’t know all the details in each pic.


Secondly since those were not my pics, I simply blacked out all the eyes in each pic, even ones that weren’t SF or even that promotional pic (which I think it is)

As for the first pic, yes those are different pants and they are issued to only a selected few units on I believe a trail basis (though if someone else can confirm this for me Id appreciate it)

As for the second pic, its not an antenna nor is it a flare, now I will let you guess again for I think its pretty obvious (at least from what I can tell from the pic and also what I know we do in general in those close situations)

As for the which units in Magav I don’t want to get into it other then to say that indeed they are from one of the special units in Magav.


To tenda

Never agreed with someone as much as I agreed with your post ;) :D






Why doesnt the IDF using a camoflage uniform?Well there really isn’t any need per say right NOW.

I mean we do have those camo suits that IMO are very effective.


Now in general the IDF is mostly engaged around urban areas so camo uniforms isn’t that big of a deal, but indeed in areas where we need it, I believe our reversible woodland/desert camo suits work very effectively.

Also the OD is in general very good in any environment (though indeed not the best in any) but its ok.

However with that said, I wouldn’t mind desert Marpat uniforms the Marines have ;)


P.S. I was in Nachal :D



Shalom :D

[Raistlin]

First thanks to all that appreciated the pics and expressed that appreciation :D
What, no thanks to those we didn't express it but still had much appreciation? :P


First, I only added comments under my own personal pics, the other album I posted in my gallery were not pics of my time in the IDF
Ahh, didn't notice the other galley.


As for the second pic, its not an antenna nor is it a flare, now I will let you guess again for I think its pretty obvious
Sheesh, it's not easy for someone without any experience. It seems to be attached to something so I guess it's not for taking it off the helmet. But then, the other guy has it behind the strap so I guess it doesn't emit any light. But there also has to be a reason for it to be on the helmet. ... Aww, I give up.


As for the which units in Magav I don’t want to get into it
PM then?

[gilgoul]

the special "antenna" comment was cool,
ok i try it, but I definitely think it is those stick light that you break and give you light for a few hours, and a good "follow me" at night, much better than the cats eyes (that aren`t bad either.
If I`m wrong, I go to jail for two turns :D

Thanks for the great album IDF woot

[Geezah]

I have a question, in the following two pics the camo seems to be real baggy, is that to help break up the line of the body?

[AirZone]

Yeah.. same with the clown hat (mitznefet)


hey some one knows what happened to those KATA cermic vests ?
http://media.militaryphotos.net/photos/albums/album56/aab.sized.jpg hehe idf your unit looks goooood :D

it seems theres a newer version less protective or less bulky i dunno the ones that you see in the SF album me think...

Yes indeed there are better ones now....remember this pic is a few years old now ;)

I believe they are still in use now, though in the reserves.


I have a question, in the following two pics the camo seems to be real baggy, is that to help break up the line of the body?
exactly and IMO it is very effective in doing so,


Also these go over the BDU's so when there really isn’t any need for camo (like in urban settings) or when simply on regular patrol, well the simple OD BDU’s are worn.

IDFM203, vey cool pics my man :hug:

Thanks man :D

Like I said, we don’t agree on some things (well basically when it concerns Israel and how I believe you are very out of touch with the reality that we face) but I know from your postings in general, that there is more we probably agree on than disagree on.

P.S. Btw I actually wrote up a response to your last post in our long debate a while ago but decided not to post it for I knew that I wouldn’t have much time to be on like I used to and well as such I never posted it (I still have it saved in Microsoft word, never erased it for whatever reason)


P.P.S. Regarding your avatar, hmm you still worried about me coming over? ;) (or what that implies as if I have any animosity towards you) Like I said if we ever do meet, hopefully it would be at a friendly get-together at your local range ;) :D

So what are those sticks for?

I think it's a pen.

P.S. Geezah there are two uses for this cammo:
A. It's possible to cover your vest with the suit (for maximal camouflage) and when needed you just open the suit zipper/Velcro strips and than you get access to your vest (mostly used by snipers and tank busters).
B. It brakes the terrain real good:
http://www.isayeret.com/camo/camo-8.jpg

[Raistlin]

I think it's a pen.
Was one of my first ideas as well. Some magic marker or something. But why attached with a cord? And why on the helmet? I've heard of "hand element" but I think "head element" usually means something else :lol:

I'm not as much of a flip flopper as Kerry but I will say that my train of thought is moving more in line with the Israeli's and they right to survive.

In a way I'm glad you didn't post it, I think that thread would have gone on forever, but as I said my line of thinking is moire in line with you guys but I don't totally agree 100% ;)

I was never worried about you coming over and I didn't think there was any animosity there, hell this is the internet cyber space, no point in holding a grudge ;)
But the offer stills stands, if you ever make it Stateside you're more than welcome to come over and we can hit the range and I might let you take over my patio while you're here :hug:

I don't want to get off topic anymore as this is a good thread, so if you like you can respond to the lower part of my response via Pm if you like.

I have a set of Israeli goretex I will try and post pictures of it

they are only in use in SF units

You all see the camo, I see the plant life to the hayal's (soldier) right, and all I can think of is a Sgt. returning us to nature and ordering us to crawl 50m over and through it. So begins another week in basic.

Great photos IDFM. You can see the strides and progress since the 80s.

I think the IDF has the coolest vest. I know a guy who sells vests made by Achidatex for 200.00. I'm planning on getting this one:

I got this one some reserve ago, that`s the M203 specialist (but they forgot to give me the M203 :roll: )

http://img57.exs.cx/img57/9909/bid.jpg


Pretty good because it fits you big time, but on the minus , it wears a little "high" on the shoulder, so you don`t carry the weight on the hips, wich is a kind of tiring after long period of wearing it.
Second problem, if you plan on carrying a Body armour, you should come and try the vest with the BA, cause it has to fit well and has only limited size setting (hey, it`s a vest, not a PLCE ).
Beside that, a hell of piece of gear, the Nylon is extra quality, and no pain point.

[IDFM203]

First thanks again to all that enjoyed the pics :D




I'm not as much of a flip flopper as Kerry . Now indeed it would be a tall order to be a transparent flip flopper on that level p-) :P , so of course it never entered my mind.


but as I said my line of thinking is moire in line with you guys but I don't totally agree 100% ;) . I don’t really ask for nor expect 100 percent, though I do appreciate you at least opening your mind to having a better understanding of where we are coming from, for it’s a sad reality that most of the worlds media IMO show a distorted view of what we truly face and how we act and whether you can agree with me 100 percent or not, I at least ask to not take what you see from most of the media at 100 percent face value or even close to it.


Thanks for your offer to me when I am in your area, now you might regret your words here for indeed I do plan on taking up your offer if and when I am ever in your neck of the woods ;) :D

Oh and perhaps we are a bit off topic now though I’d like to think that since I started this thread I do have a bit more lee-way in taking this off topic then I normally would ;)

Anyways indeed let’s get back on topic……………


Great photos IDFM. You can see the strides and progress since the 80s. Indeed “we” have come along way.

I seem to recall this conversation in the other forum a while back (when I was on it ;) ), I guess like I said there, while I still think we have room for more improvement (especially in the proper application of Camo face paint), overall yes we have come along way and certainly its better then how it was with you guys when all you had were just your OD BDU’s p-)



I definitely like 'em! I demand more :DWell when you put it so nicely I guess I have no choice but to oblige ;) :D ………and well here are a few more………(These set of pics are curtsey of this Nachal IDF website (http://www.gal-ed.co.il/nachal/)

IDFM, the new batch is not bad either.
But the picture of the "briefing" seems to confirm what I thought, the sticks on the helemts are stick lights, if I`m wrong once again, ban me to Syria :D
PS, maybe it is a version of the gl;ow that glows only in IL, I Don`t know, but since only those with the madona carry it, it would make sence, team or fireteam leader and their team member following)

great pic's IDFM230!!

love to see the Landrovers in the IDF :D
Have seen a lot of them this summer in Israel.
but what keeps me wondering is why the IDF uses this big asortiment of difrent car brands. nissan, Ford, Landrover, Renault, Izusu, Opel...
it must cost a lot in spare parts....

[Raistlin]

Btw, how long have you been in UK?
Me? All my life.


Why doesnt the IDF using a camoflage uniform?
Is it correct english to say "why doesn't [subject] using"?

The only way I would regret the offer is if you eat up all my ammo :P but we could make a good day of it, I know Durandal is fairly close and I have friends over at AK47.Net that get together every once in a while.

Anyway back on subject,

land rovers are part of a couple special units regular vehicle pool, and also an armored version of the Defender exist in some units pool. The armored Defender is the best armored vehicle I have had the pleasure of driving in and on, though it's a bit crampy it has superb mobility.
Also a large number were captured in the last years from the PA.

two questions:

otherwise - great job!

BTW - note dragon missile launcher in the photo aboce this reply. those were fitted with a tripod, for better functioning of the shooter.

To your first question, like I said before, indeed there are some photos from this Nachal site that I posted in the gallery, however most were not from there and as such I simply blocked out all of the eyes in all pics since they were not my own pics.


Now indeed for OPSEC reasons probably half of the pics in my gallery don’t need their eyes blocked out but I didn’t bother weeding out which is which.

As for your second question, well I took them from all over the site and not just from one spot there and well I did it over a extended period, now trust me they are there and if you read Hebrew you shouldn’t have a problem locating them.

If I have the time I will try to locate them if you still have a problem but I hope you can understand my reluctance to do a whole search again.

That's a Mk19 and if it is, are they fairly widespread amounst the IDF?Yes the Mk19 or as is referred to in the IDF as the "Maklar" is indeed very prevalent throughout the frontline combat infantry ranks and is used on all types of vehicle platforms or even at some guard posts.

Here are two pics from isayeret.com

that straing that is the first time i see lendrovers in the IDF and im from israel soo...

and i think the US como and the helmets is jest for the guy's that are still in training,that as not finishd their course, because the guy's that on the course get poorer equipment compared to the guy's that finishd the course and are operationel.[/img]

land rovers are part of a couple special units regular vehicle pool, and also an armored version of the Defender exist in some units pool. The armored Defender is the best armored vehicle I have had the pleasure of driving in and on, though it's a bit crampy it has superb mobility.
Also a large number were captured in the last years from the PA.

yeah the armored one is nice. Loved it. did you use it in combat role?

Drove it a bit but mainly in it around the gaza area,though not in actual comat,since it's more of a bullet proof transpot then a combat vehicle (it is quite hard to dismount from) one of my NCO's showed me how it handles in extra muddy conditions and I was truely amazed and am a fan till today.

The first bunch of land rovers where received from South Afrika. They were civilian cars used in safaris and they were in civilian colors like yellow, red and pink :) They were taken straight from Haifa port to Nazareth where the
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIES LTD modified them for military use.
The main reason (to the best of my knowledge) for using Defenders is the fact that the Hummer is too wide to fit inside the Sikorsky CH53 "Yasur" transport helicopter for Air Mobile Operations.

IDFM, the new batch is not bad either.
But the picture of the "briefing" seems to confirm what I thought, the sticks on the helemts are stick lights, Yep that’s why I posted that second pic ;) and I was hoping you (and he) would notice it :D
So they ARE flares. I was right all along ;)

[israeli dude]

say anyone here have some photos of the Yamam???(plz not freom isayeret)

[Kaplanr]

I remember a story about colored Land Rovers, but that we'd acquired them in Lebanon. At the time the only Israelis driving LRs, Toyotas and Nissans were those going into and out of Lebanon. The Japanese companies, save for Subaru and Daihatsu were still not selling to Israel.

Anyone else still using the 52mm mortar?

[Raistlin]

The last party of Landrovers were taken from confiscated PA security forces vehicles (Bitahon Mesakel) . Good the luck to push one up with a tank :) .

Yup, at least for flares, but I think we`re finishing the old stock of flares (i got it right this time), at least in the reserve, before, but here i dream a little, maybe, getting a few m203 even for the old dudes :D
The first time I fired one (flare only), I almost broke my hand by holding it by the handle and not the hand guard :cantbeli: , the fact was I`ve never fired one before, and just touched it to put it in and out the jeep and cleaning it.
Ahh , the beauty of reserves.

What pants are those? I don't remember seeing them before.

My associate in Tel Aviv tells me that they are some aftermarket modifications done personally by those who wear them:

"My sources told me it's some kind of regular BDU's that were "upgraded" in a "do it yourself" style; it's not on the market.

Eli."

As I said before in this post they are Gortex pant used onlu by spec units

[Raistlin]

Btw, haven't seen you in a while, Golani68

[Golani68]

yeah nice to be back

It is a bit rare item the gortex suit

all of EGOZ use them

[Raistlin]

Is this the suit isayeret mentions at this place?:


http://www.isayeret.com/units/land/special/217/217.jpg[/url]



A very unusual photo of Sayeret Duvdevan operators in full military uniforms and gear during the Taibeh operation, March 2000. In this CT operation, that involved six heavily armed and barricaded Palestinians terrorists, the unit acted as a backup and a reinforcement unit to the Takeover unit on the scene - Unit YAMAM.

The participation of Sayeret Duvdevan in this operation with unit YAMAM, within Israel boarders and not in the Territories, is on the surface surprising, since if unit YAMAM needed a backup it could have easily used each one of the CT qualified civilian SF units rather then an IDF one. This cooperation is therefore a symbol of the strong connection between the two units - many of unit YAMAM operators are former Sayeret Duvdevan. Moreover, another reason for choosing Sayeret Duvdevan to this operation, over civilian SF units, is the superior manpower quality of the Sayeret Duvdevan compares to the civilians ones.

Note that the middle operator is wearing a water resistant extreme weather suit, and armed with CAR15 fitted with Trijicon ACOG X4 day optic, under-barrel adapter for ITL AIM1/D Infra Red laser pointer and a Surefire Millennium M500 tactical flashlight.
Doesn't look like it but just wondering.

[Raistlin]

NM, it's not it.

Anyway, some high-res pics of Israeli gortex suit provided to you by Golani68 (click for high res):
