In Israel, confirmed the rollover of the Merkava-4 tank during exercises

December 9 2019 92

An upside-down photo spreads across the Israeli social media segment a tank Merkava. According to reports, the Merkava Mk.4 tank turned over during exercises near the border with Lebanon.

Israeli television confirmed the message that the IDF tank rolled over, unsuccessfully rolling down one of the hills. At the same time, claims that the incident with the tank of the Israel Defense Forces occurred today are refuted. An Israeli TV channel 13 report stated that the Merkava overturning occurred during maneuvers from 1 to 6 December. Including the 215-I division, as well as reservists from the 402 and 55 battalions participated in these maneuvers.

It is noted that during the exercises, "options for countering the invasion from Lebanese territory" were worked out.

The photo shows that next to the overturned Israeli tank is a broken tree. According to its location, it can be assumed that the Merkava-4 rolled down from a sufficiently high height.

It is noted that there are no victims and injured as a result of the incident.

According to the latest information, the cannon is damaged in the tank, and the combat module was especially damaged.

      In our KVTIU in 1991, a fellow student T - 72 turned over. Moreover, out of the blue. In the narrow passage of "appendicitis" two cars came out towards each other at high speed. One turned into the woods and broke trees, the second in the opposite direction, ran over a concrete block with a caterpillar and sprinkled with sand and ... Voila! Turned over, chided and did not withdraw money)))

        I served in the army for 2 years, even during the Soviet Union. So, at the end of the first year of service, I once accidentally broke a blade of a knife bayonet from an AK submachine gun (pulled away from the handle). The remaining time of service I was not paid (8 rubles per month), for that that broke a knife ((

But when the company commander "flew", instead of three days, he hung up the stripe - he began to receive 28 marks. And where is the just punishment? Abydna, yes!

  "This morning, during an IDF Northern Military District exercise, a Merkava-4 battle tank was overturned.
  
  According to a preliminary investigation of the incident, the tank crew performed the command task in low fog and medium visibility, moving one caterpillar along the asphalt, the other through the mud.
  
  The crew of the tank managed to prepare for the coup when the tank began to slide into the cliff. Turning over a combat vehicle stuck in the trees. The preliminary version is a crew error.
  
  Tankers were not injured. The tank itself is damaged.
  
  The military blocked several roads in northern Israel near the border with Lebanon after the incident.

The tank just hooked him, but by the people nearby you can determine that the height of the "mound" is at least six meters ...

As quickly as possible to overcome obstacles, go to the line, aptly shoot off, reloading, this is all military training. It’s like disassembling / assembling a machine for a while, no one argues that it is possible to disassemble and clean slowly and assemble, only the speed shows your knowledge of technology and the ability to handle it.

Israel did not "confirm", but reported that the tank capsized during the exercise.

What for! They also know how!
A tank is a tank, not an all-terrain vehicle ...

  It’s quite an all-terrain vehicle, by the way. But, as usual, it all depends on the crew. Funny: in the father’s part at the end of the 60s, the drunk captain drove on a tank between 3 pines so that 2 of them had to be cut to leave

This is, in general, an ordinary phenomenon in any army where there is armored vehicles!
I myself have not been able to fall from the bridge and roll over in the tank, but I did drive into the quagmire at speed.
And when, at first, with another tank (then with a tractor with a chain hoist), they pulled out our "sixty-two" from there, due to inexperience, he almost lost his legs, at the last moment the senior officer who saw this by the collar of his overalls pulled out (there was every I remember an old case, shudder, "oil painting", as if alive before my eyes ...).
And I saw a lot of photos of upside-down (or even standing on the cannon) tanks, including the Merkav of various modifications.
The terrain of operations in Israel and Lebanon is mostly mountainous and desert, rocky (track adhesion to stone is poor), elevation changes are many hills, ascents and descents, narrow turns and steep slopes, so that the accident rate of armored vehicles affects ...
Yes, and very smooth autobahns are not a guarantee of a tank exit in a ditch.
Our relatives and friends, who fought as tankmen, recalled that, like on ice, they glided along the cobblestone pavements of European cities with the tracks of their "thirty-fours" and "IS" s, sometimes, at speed "they did not fit into the turn" ...

I was surprised when I read the name of such a "novina" - I thought it was the tank crew who died ?!
And since there are no victims and injuries among the Israeli tankers, then, thank God! After all, the children and grandchildren of many of my Soviet classmates, current Israelis, childhood friends, have served and are serving in the IDF.

The fighters did not suffer - very good. And the technique is patched up.

they often overlook, there are three reasons, or the tank is tightly overturned, or the roads are weak, or there is no engineering intelligence, the third most significant along the way
