Yeah, that's my mistake, meant to say CEM which isn't completely correct either, its the Armored Combat Earthmover, not simply Combat Earth Mover. More to the point, are the M728 CEV's still in service?

And I thought the M6 Bradley Linebackers had a four round FIM-92 pod in place of the dual tube TOW launcher? That Bradley appears to have both.

IDF Zelda.

The "Zelda" APC is an upgraded M113 APC with armor addition on both sides and front which provide protection against the anti-tank RPG rockets. The "Zelda" APC has additional protection against land mines. This vehicle is the product of Israel's long experience in armored warfare.

"Zelda 2" APC is an upgraded modification of "Zelda" APC. Based on M113 APC this troop carrier implements a new concept of armor - primarily blazer armor. "Zelda's" armor provides protection from such anti-tank misseiles as "Spigot", "Sagger" and "Milan".

2 questions

1) what is this thing on the side of the turret?
http://www.imageshack.us/files1/2apedwardsjc_030325M_0HN0X1-med7.JPG

2) I sometimes see these boxes on the front sloping armour of Abrams. What is that for? Does the box thing have any purpose? Is it reactive armour?
http://www.imageshack.us/files1/2apedwardsjc_030327M_0HMII1-med5.JPG

1) That I think is called an 'IFF'. I do know for certian that it, as Ivy, said 'glows' to help with identification to avoid 'Blue-On-Blue'.

2) I thinks that's just attachment points for MILES equipment, could be wrong though.

Here is better ones:

http://www.ludd.luth.se/~antenna/t2k/veh/bilder/pbv302.jpg
Pbv 302

This one was probably quite good as well, came about the same time as the
M113. A 12.7 or a 20 mm in a turret, not a difficult choise? Note that the driver
and the gunner is mirrored compared to the M113 though. I don´t know why.
But their days are more or less over now, they are too old. And one interesting
thing is that the Pbv 302´s didn´t have liners etc as the M113´s have had since
the 60´. So the Pbv 302´s sent to Bosnia etc had to be modified to actually
be safe to use in a warzone! These modified ones are Pbv 302C

But nothing like Israeli up armored variants..

They were once the same (M163) systems as those US.. however they are now much modified, and very much more capable system than those in US Army..

http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/vehicles/armored_personnel_carriers/m-113/hovet_n2.jpg
Hovet Tracked Armoured Air Defence Vehicle.

http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/vehicles/armored_personnel_carriers/m-113/hovet.jpg
Hovet Tracked Armoured Air Defence Vehicle.

http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/vehicles/armored_personnel_carriers/m-113/hovet2.jpg
Hovet Tracked Armoured Air Defence Vehicle.

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.

http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/vehicles/armored_personnel_carriers/m-113/machbet.jpg
Machbet Tracked Armoured Air Defence Vehicle.

http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/vehicles/armored_personnel_carriers/m-113/machbet_3.jpg
Machbet Tracked Armoured Air Defence Vehicle.

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.

Yeah Chris196 got the first one right. The second pic is actually a M-577 command vehicle. The third one actually has a name but I cant freakin remember it. Its a tank recovery vehicle and the Israelis have a version of it also but I think thiers is upgraded.

Now does the M113 (any countries version of it) have any chance of taking a RPG round to it and not being knocked out p-)

Israeli Zelda and Zelda 2 have more than fair change.. actually, Zelda 2 is supposed to be able to hold up Milan, Konkurs or Swatter ATGM with its blazer armor.. (this is ERA.. right?) but others really dont have a change..

But i did read some US Army "report" from Nam that practicly claims that M113 is immune to RPG-7s, but i really dont belive that to be true, as RPG-7 has already damaged and disabled numerous M1A1/A2.. :|

Oh and.. i did already post pics of those Israeli variants to here earlier, so i wont "double post" em..

Yes, the M113 can be very heavily damaged from a rpg. At least the ones the original ones in vietnam were. Thats why you see pictures of grunts riding on top of the 113s, because it was a virtual deathtrap on the inside, not because it was hot. Im not sure if the newer A2's and A3's are that easy to damage or destroy though so dont think that our boys are in deep **** over there.

elguapo,

M2/3:s armor is thicker and resists better than M113s RPG like projectiles..

Bradleys armor is also sloped at sides etc so RPG:s can even bounce off it with out detonating.. in fact just last week there was this battle in Iraq, near Syrian border.. in which at least 1 M1 was disabled, yet one of my friends that saw some more footage of the battle said that there was Bradley that was attacked by RPG, but that it just bounced harmlesly off..

"Tank" in the first pic is M113, and Bradley in the second pic is Bradley.. ;)

To Uninen

Good postings on the Israeli zelda’s :D

As for the Bradley which were discussed before.

All I can add is this ;) :D

Some of the Army's Bradley fighting vehicles are guided by on-board computers supplied by a subsidiary of Israel's Elbit Systems, Shapir said. U.S. troops riding in the Bradleys might also be protected by armor from Rafael, said Lova Drori, Rafael's director of international marketing.For more on this or on more, Click here (http://www.usatoday.com/tech/world/iraq/2003-03-24-israel-tech_x.htm)

IDFM203,

No problem, as the Zelda 2 is my personal favorite.. :) But sadly, ive not seen any more pics of it than those on israeliweapons.com.. and on one "hebrew language" defence magazine that i bought when i visited in israel, back in early 1990s.. :P

(Of which i only get the pics, the rest is beyond me..) ;)

Yeah the A2 and A3 are still in opservice with the Army. Every now and then I see a M-577 command vehicle roll around Ft. Hood and in Iraq.

IDFM203,

No problem, as the Zelda 2 is my personal favorite.. :) Well To be honest, I myself have no personal experience with the Zelda 2…I have been on the regular Zelda, Achzarit, (http://www.waronline.org/IDF/pictures/Army/Achzarit/index.html)
(though not much on this for I was not in a unit (golani) that primarily uses that) Hummers, sufa’s (http://www.waronline.org/IDF/pictures/Army/Sufa/index.html), helicopters ;) :D etc etc..…but not the Zelda 2.

I will try to search for more pics of the Zelda 2 and if I find them I will post them here

But sadly, ive not seen any more pics of it than those on israeliweapons.com.. and on one "hebrew language" defence magazine that i bought when i visited in israel, back in early 1990s.. :P whoa whoa :D you cant just drop that “bombshall” without giving more details ;) ……so you were in Israel? Were you part of a UN mission or simply you went to check out the beautiful women, the beautiful beaches, eat at the great restaurants, check out the sights etc etc ?….. :D

Shalom :D

Ok,

Post em if you find them.. :)

And..

What i did in Israel is in need to know basis and top secret.. ;)

Naah.. it was just a tourist trip.. and what i did was the sight seeing.. some good stuff there.. :)

But i did also meet Finnish UN soldiers there.. just dont really remember that much about it.. long time you see.. (and bad memory..) :|

But that was back in the Eilat, long way from the Lebanese border and the security zone..
