Cool name, merkeva=warchariot. I hated, working on tanks though.

A little offtopic.. Recently I bought an IDF helmet, it has a hebrew word written on it.. But I don't speak Hebrew.. Would anyone of you be so kind to have a look to it..?

Whats the word? Maybe I can answer it, for ya.

The story behind the pics http://www.ynetnews.com/Ext/Comp/Art...279817,00.html

Thanks for the info, good the also see this kind of photos.

Thanks, for your intel.

That word, has a really old, letter in it, representing K=X. In English its spelled:PKHR. Which seems to be, pakhal, meaning: to pour fourth light=pak, but I can't remember the hal part, I'll figure it though.

Thanks, for your intel.

I guess that's a name, Faher is an Arabian name, unless it's in Yiddish and then it means something like for.

They are in memory of his friends Oz Tzemah, Ha'aran Lev, Dan Broyer and Vinon Nisan RIP.

P.S. there was a picture there of the NATO improved cross but you missed it, which sucks for you

This is it,

Well, if the second letter is an Alef (א) and the third is an (ה) than it says Pahar, which to my knowlage dosen't mean anything other than maybe a last name of someone, is the helmet used?

[IDF_TANKER]

This is it,

It means nothing, probably the name of the soldier it belonged to (sounds arabic).

It means nothing, probably the name of the soldier it belonged to (sounds arabic).

Actually, it is not arabic. Its basically early writting, before vowels, were created. It means, pouring forth a distance of light, in accordance with, walking.A true Infantry/tanker word or varo. It literally,
means ranging etc. Only a priest,prophet or king would be knowledgeable of it though!Oops, It isn't pakhal, its pakhar. Since har=mountain, therefore, it's a reference to the sun/shemesh or to the future of zion. Sorry, for the mistake. It can also mean, a mountain trapper, i.e. emorru avraham etc.

Great thread, great pix. I love Markava the most sexi MBT on the globe

BTW. Well AFAIK the pix from Merkavas' interiors are forbidden?

Thanks for the help everyone

The helmet is used, so it's probably a name or mountain trapper?
