This is THE thread you've been waiting for, fellow men in arms!

This thread is not assigned for the unclear purpose of posting babes, but for the posting of machines, devices, and construction with the purpose of death, mayhem, destruction, and foremost, warfare. :D :goodjob:

I start with my favourite classical jet aircraft, the Gloster Meteor:

And the t-34!

Personally, I think it's a very neat very weapon, but so does Osama!

Haha, I just couldn't refrain from posting it! I made it myself, BUT I'm not endorsing the use of nukes against Saddam :D

The all-mighty Merkava Mk4. :king:
 
Modular Armor :D :D :D
 
I'm constructing a model of Merkava Mk3 :D

One weapon I like reading a lot about is the All-Israeli-Developed Tamuz ATGM:

Tamuz Missile

Over the years, Israel was in many cases denied access to the latest in western high-tech military technologies. As a result it was forced to develop almost everything by itself. Today, Israel has a vast and very advanced defense industry, which manufactures a width variety of military hardware - airplanes, ships, tanks and small arms.

One of the fields, in which Israel had excelled, is the missiles area. The Tamuz ATGM used by Unit Moran and Unit Meitar is the very reason for the existence of the units and is the main ATGM used by them. The Tamuz is launched by the Dedicated Crews according to the intelligence and targeting data gathered by the Reconnaissance Platoons.

Most of the information on the Tamuz missile is deemed top secret even today. Only the general data is made publicly known. The Tamuz is a state of the art long-range ATGM. It's the most advanced ATGM of its kind in the world and is made by the Israeli Armament Development Authority (RAFAEL).

The Tamuz has a truly amazing capability. Every few years RAFAEL upgrades the missile and introduce a better version. The current Tamuz has a range of over 30 kilometers (to me it sounds a bit too much IMO) and has a hit ratio of almost 100 percents at a tank size target. It is so effective that one Unit Moran or Unit Meitar Company can wipe out an entire enemy armored battalion in minutes.

Since the exact configuration of the Tamuz platforms is considered classified even today, the units have free access to foreign spy satellites routes database gathered by the various Israeli intelligence agencies. Each time such a spy satellite is passing over Israel, all the Tamuz platforms, which are currently in the open, are inserted to the Mit'zpe Ramon AFB hungers, which is one of the main reasons why the units' main base was located in an AFB in the first place. The platforms, which are far from the base in field exercises during the passing of the foreign satellite, are covered with thick, thermal resistance, camouflage networks.

Here is the LAHAT missile for 120mm smoothbore guns, undergoing testing of the IAI (Israeli Airforce Industries):

Here is another picture of the Merkava 4, most likely best tank of the world using Completely Modular armor:

:D :D :D
 
IMO the 30 kilometers range of the Tamuz is a typing mistake and it should be 3 km. Or maybe it is correct... if so it is very very precise, almost impossibly precise.

EDIT: Maybe it is correct, I also read that the Nimrod missile has range of 26 Kilometers.

These are very high numbers, the TOW2 for example has a range of about 3.75 Kilometers.

Here is another pic of the IDF LAHAT (Laser Homing Anti Tank)

The Merkava would crash all of your tanks together :D
 
This is the German Königstiger (Royal Tiger, Tiger 2, King Tiger) from WWII. I bet it would put up a good fight, even against the Merkava...

Ha, no way. Dream on ;)

A machine is only as good as the men in it.

And take it from me, IceBlaZe, that 88mm cannon stings.

Countless T-34s and JS2s will testify to that!
 
One of the all time classic fighters of WW2 Europe.
The Me 109, second only to the Spitfire.

Ach! Flammenwerfer!

Looks like a PzKw II chassis, I could be wrong.
 
A nasty design that never got built, luckily!

The H-Class Super Battleship! (with BV 239 escort)
As seen in Case's Cruel Sea scenario!
 
It's all automatic today, curt.
The Merkavah can stay on target while moving at speed.
