Prehaps he's not getting them all at once. Besides, there's no rule that I know of that says you can't make more than one post like his per thread or anything. There's nothing wrong with what he's done, if your going to bug him for it, then bug HE, and practicly every other member of this site, as we've probably all did it at least once or twice.

Nice photos, man!

Yeah, looks like a Vulcan on a M113 Chasis... 30mm if i remember correctly.

It's the M163 'Hovet (http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/vehicles/armored_personnel_carriers/m-113/Hovet.html)' that utilizes a modified 20mm General Dynamics M61 Vulcan - mounted to an M113A1 (as noted). Nice bit of firepower....

http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/vehicles/armored_personnel_carriers/m-113/hovet2.jpg

The Hovet (M163) is a self propelled variant of the General Dynamics 20mm Vulcan Air Defence System program based M113. Modification include new linked digital fire-control computer with range-only radar, and adding the new APDS round which increases range to 3.5 km.
The Hovet utilized a modified version of the US Air Force's M61 Vulcan six-barreled 20mm rotary cannon. It was installed in a turret on a modified M113A1 APC. Since the Hovet weighed so much more than the M113 APC, flotation cells were fitted to the sides of the vehicle, and a high-displacement trim vane was added to the front. When the powertrain modifications of the M113A2 APC were introduced to the Hovet, the carrier vehicle was redesignated as M741A1. The improved suspension of the M113A2 was not fitted since the Hovet's suspension was fitted with the lockout device. The Vulcan could fire at a high rate of 3000 rounds per minute in 10-, 30-, 60-, or 100-rounds bursts, and it could also fire at a low rate of 1000 rounds per minute.

The Product Improved Vulcan Air Defense System (PIVADS), was a kit developed by Lockheed Electronics Company which reduced the gunner's workload and improved the accuracy of the system. Hardware improvements included a digital microprocessor, director sight, low backlash azimuth drive system, and the ability to fire armor-piercing discarding sabot (APDS) ammunition. PIVADS provided its operators with automatic notification of system failures through its built-in test equipment (BITE). PIVADS's radar remained a range-only device.

Sorry, but that's inaccurate. I believe it is the modified version of Hovet - which is called Machbet (by the way - Hovet is 'batter', and Machbet is a Bat (or a club), in Hebrew).
Probably the Stinger Launcher was removed.

The Israeli Aircraft Industries (IAI) developed the Machbet in the mid 1990's. It had undergone testing in the IDF in 1997 and entered operational service in 1998. Pending on budget issues, the IAF is planning to convert all its Hovet APC to the newer Machbet configuration.
The Machbet is an advanced MBT air defense product, in service in the Israeli Air Force. It adds an enhanced suit of TV and FLIR target auto-tracking capability to M113/Vulcan/Stinger launchers. A unit-level fire coordination and management capability is provided, as well as an interface to a sectorial air surveillance radar for the air targets picture. These all enable to acquire approaching targets at an early stage, making the weapons much more efficient.

500m minimum range; 6,000m maximum range against helicopters; 8,000m against aircraft
Interfaces with the EL/M 2106 search radar
Adaptable to Stinger, MISTRAL, SA-16, SA-18 and other short range missiles.

It is almost identical to the Hovet, but atop the turret is a launching box with 4 Stinger launchers. This vehicle was a surprise to enemy pilots who felt they had spotted a standard PIVAD (Product Improved Vulcan Air Defense System) and thought they were out of range of it.
