IDF Tank Corps - Pictures and video

Israeli  Armored Corps "Heil HaShirion" is a corps of the IDF  since 1998 subordinate to G O C Army Headquarters The Armored Corps is the principal maneuvering corps, and primarily bases its strength on Main Batlle tanks
The Armored Corps is the decisive corps in GOC Army Headquarters, and bases its power on a combination of mobility, armor, and firepower. During wars, its role is, on the one hand, to lead the first line of the attacking forces and to clear the area of the enemy, while on the other hand, to block the armor forces of the enemy and to destroy its tanks and armor. During peacetime, it reinforces the Infantry Corps while it performs security tasks, with the tanks serving as a mobile bunker

    Came here via Doubltapper's blog. Love the Merkava. Have rode Bradley's into combat twice in Iraq, and while the worked I'd have traded my wife for a Merkava Mk 4.
