Yes i've noticed it in many of the pictures i've posted here.Originally Posted by Palmach
my father's reserve unit was equipped with WW2 British rifles when the war started, later when they moved into Syria they replaced all of their rifles with AKs taken from a Moroccan army base.
they've also adopted a Syrian AA gun for protection, which turned out as a smart move as they were later attacked by a MIG and shot it down when it made a strafing run on them.
A picture my father took during the war:

so egyptian tanks became easy targets...
mitla pass battle caused idf victory...
Tanks, does the IDF collection is also covering the first Lebanon War? Would be a great addition to post them up here...

Wow.... it's a good thing there are no flamings in that thread...Tanks, does the IDF collection is also covering the first Lebanon War? Would be a great addition to post them up here...
No, the online archive does not cover the Lebanon war, however the archive itself is actualy located near my home, so i think i'll visit the place when i'll get the time and if the fee is reasonable than maybe i'll scan some stuff myself.
