Hello guys . I have burned my computer 2 weeks ago , but good thing came out of it . I finally got scanner , and joined the "space" age . I am very bad cameramen ,and i asshamed to say that all my good photos came from my friends . And i also took very little pictures in my service , something i regret now . So , bare this in your mind .

The story took place in a Palestinian vilage , near the city of Jenin in west bank . Some say , the lightning can't strike twice , but it did . My tank fell from the road curve when we returned from mission , and took very bad "angle" on that spot . Exactly couple of days later , a platoon commander tank fell off from the road , on the same curve exactly (200 metters from our turning) .

During the recovery and rescue work , some Palestinian kids came and started to help us . Enough to say , that i was pretty against it in the beggining , but later it became pretty funny . The guys help us carry some heavy stuff , and tried to steal 20 kilogram plates from the place . We gave them our food , and they were pretty happy . They were enjoying to carry the stuff , and pretend they are soldiers .

Here are the pictures from the event . Again , i warning you , i am terrible photo guy .

I tried to photograph my friend , during the process of "dumping"
. But as i said , i am a terrible photographer , so it's very hard to find him on the picture .
But the fate was harsh with me on the picture : Later i myself went to make some "number 2" , and exactly at that moment one of our tecnicions were injured . My Co that was on the scene , organised his evacuation in my tank , and i couldn't "make the stuff" in time , in order to take my weapon , that i left on the tank .The tank started to drive away , and i run like a crazy , throwing stones , but it didn't help . I spent 20 minutes there without my personal weapon , and that was the most scary 20 minutes in my life .
But also that was the best damn "number 2" in my life rofl

Allready did that ;)

Well , that was pretty much driver fault on this one . It was early in the morning , dawn , and the driver started to change his scope from nightvision to regular day optics , on drive ( thats fun , but hard drill ) . He should have informed his commander that he does that , in order for commander to start directing the driver . But the driver informed commander second after he started to replace it , and that was enough ...


BTW : It was the first known time , that IDF used Chemical weapons . We gave the Palestinian boys to taste our "Shoko" , That's IDF standart issue Chocolat milk , that known for causing serios abdominal desruptions .

Now those kind of photos you will never see in the "Today Pics" . I wonder why ... ;)

In arabic? I assume that most Palestinians doesn´t speak any other language?

[MolliG]

Javehn, what position did you fill in the Merkava (Gunner? Loader? Etc.)? Or, would you have to kill me if you told me ;)...

I prefer not to talk about this ;) . Perhaps in private .

Very broken combined Arabic (combined - that means everybody contributed from their poor vocabulary) , and a lot of hand language :) .

[mustamato]

Javehn feels like a driver to me. Listening to his walkman, (Tunnel Trance
Force vol. 666) and thinking of what to write on Militaryphotos.net this day,
and then oooops, driving over the cliff.

Maybe, but his description of a tank driver who drove the tank off a cliff, probably has a lot of truth to it. :lol:

It's very hard to drive on the paved road , and on Urban enviroment , when the tracks aren't covered with rubber . It takes special skills , and sometimes , accidents do happend .
My driver , for example , just wanted to taste real food , after a week of cornbeaf , and discussting dry food . He didn't calculated the spead on some curve , and ...

Hmm, Limonnaya?
Never saw it. Similar to Absolut Citron?

[Javehn]

Absolut Citr is discusting . Limonaya has better taste .
I personally have encountered some strange "Peysahovskaya" vodka , for the first time in my life . Now this is some good **** .... I bet they didn't had that in Egypt some 4000 years ago .

Actually 37 years of forced togetherness has given the Palestinians a better command of Hebrew than we have of Arabic.

Even some of the SLA I worked with had decent Hebrew. They certainly dressed better than we did.
