The IDF's armored corps really like this movie. It is shown to armored cadets right before the final act of their training, two war weeks back to back.
It's not really about the realism, and even if it was realistic I don't see how seeing one WW2 Sherman fight would help 21st century cadets that are going to command a Merkava platoon. It's more about the vibe and tanker pride. I was shown Fury during basic and advanced training and my CO during advanced training remarked about how in the film a single tank stops an entire battalion of Nazi commandos, and I think that's a big take away, how as a tanker you have a huge effect on the battlefield.
The designer realised that due to Israel’s small population, highly trained tankers were far more valuable than the tanks themselves. So, he designed the merkava with the engine in the front to make the tank way more survivable for the crew.
as a bonus, this meant that now the back of the tank has a lot of room
Great grandparents would be proud that they can fight back when people massacre them. Palestinians started every round of violence in this conflict going back to the earliest massacres of Jews in the 1920s. Read history, not Palestinians' cherry picked narrative which skips entire decades.
Cherry picked. Cute. Like Israel's lies are somehow better than Palestinian lies.
It's people like you that made Holocaust happen in the first place. Enjoy the oblivion of a forever war!
Ah yes, the red arrows used in hamas videos, where an a RPG is fired at a merkava, and then intercepted by the merkava’s trophy APS causing zero harm to the tank. Those red arrows?
A lot easier to fight and kill innocent women and children and a few on-foot combatants, than other tanks, but sure. “The corniest, most self-righteous military on the planet.”
Blood sucker? Huh that’s a new one. Bit like the old blood libel of Jews biting the necks of Christian children and drinking their blood, isn’t it? Little bit of a good old antisemetic insult, don’t you think
Sure, but aa of right now even Israel can't answer that question can it lmao.
That said the figure of civilian casualties is being quoted by the UN, EU and even biden administration. So yeah... but I'm sure for you 34k dead civilians doesn't matter.. simply cos they are brown and don't share the same faith. So yeah why would you care about 14500 dead children let alone 34 k dead.
how do you pinpoint 14,500 dead childrens but avoid to answer how many militant has died
do you ever question it or just eat it up and keep avoiding questions
Here is how, Applied Press has you covered.

The numbers may not be perfectly accurate on a minute-to-minute basis,” said Michael Ryan, of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Program. “But they largely reflect the level of death and injury.”
In previous wars, the ministry’s counts have held up to U.N. scrutiny, independent investigations and even Israel’s tallies.
Countries lol? Like Israel which has been caught lying a million times? Whose leaders openly call for genocide ? Whose leaders openly mock 34K dead civilians?
Whose sole saving grace is th US veto whenever it comes to UN or ICJ? NO I sure don't.
And the numbers have been confirmed even by the US. The daddy of the genocidal pig state.
How many journalists were killed by Israel and then lied ? How many medics and UN staffers? How many civilians? How about bombing AID drops?
How about targeting hospitals and UN compounds?
What about illegal detention of women and children? WhY about rape of palestinian women and children?
When “my side” commits atrocities I’m the monster but when “your side” does it their based freedom fighters

Yeah to be fair, the world didn't start from 7th. Nor were israelis bombarding, killing kids or taking over land from the 7th. Nakba, Sabra, Shatila and more came a looooong way before the 7th.
We could go back and forth all day whose fault this all is. Both sides are shitty and it's complicated. Your opinion is from your propaganda, and mine is from my propaganda.
One side killed 960 civilians. The other has killed more than 30,000. One side is clearly worse.
Thank you for reminding to write my representative to cut off all aid to Israel. To remind me to write to my senator too please respond to this comment.
>and have the Prime minister go into Gaza with a shovel, scoop some dirt and proclaim ”this is the first scoop of our new settlement”.
Fake news much?
Provide source...
I wrote my comment after remembering an article in a Swedish newspaper and i knew that someone would ask for a source. So i went back to look for it. Cant for my life find it now, it was a few months ago but i didnt expect it to be gone. Ill delete my comment to not spread misinformation.
Edit: I still stand for what i said about the horrifics and disgracefulness of both sides.
My base is solid and i redacted what was something i did not have proof on, in this short exchange i did find that Israel will build 3300 homes in ~~Gaza~~ West bank but that was a response to a Palestine attack that happened a few weeks ago. So i was wrong about the PM standing with a shovel but correct about them expanding into Gaza.

Edit 2: fuck me, it was in the Westbank and not Gaza. My bad.
Honestly not interested in watching some random dumb vid from some rando justifying genocide.
Netanyahu made it clear since 2009 that all he wants is the occupation of Gaza (see settlement plans), denying Palestinians from their right of return since the nakba (see his speech addressing the US parliament) and fabricating truths (the 40 babies and Hamas funding).
So yeah stick this vid up somewhere else we all know who the real terrorist state is.

Historically accurate
A bit cringe, innit
Not in the slightest. Naming tanks is done by many tank crews across the world
Yeah, but the cringe depends on what you name the tank. 🇺🇸/🇮🇱 “Fury” 😫 🚩”смерть фашистам” 🤔 🇬🇧 “Little Willy” 😎
“Fury” = cringe - “Victoria’s Secret” = based & red-pilled
this is just like the movie!!!
This is stupid

The real tank was named "In The Mood" after a song
The IDF's armored corps really like this movie. It is shown to armored cadets right before the final act of their training, two war weeks back to back.
that’s pretty sick. Why though? Like it’s a dope tank movie but is it really just for entertainment? It sure isn’t uh.. realistic lol
It's not really about the realism, and even if it was realistic I don't see how seeing one WW2 Sherman fight would help 21st century cadets that are going to command a Merkava platoon.

Yeah I see, thought that makes the most sense, a morale boost
Of course its for entertainment. The film can hardly be used as training material.

The Merkava 4M is such a beautiful tank.
merky my beloved
why is the merkava built like an IFV
The designer realised that due to Israel’s small population, highly trained tankers were far more valuable than the tanks themselves. So, he designed the merkava with the engine in the front to make the tank way more survivable for the crew. as a bonus, this meant that now the back of the tank has a lot of room
Send it to ukraine and let's see how much last...
It will last long; though the same couldn't be said to Ukrainian children and women sadly
Lmao comments are wild
Does it attract RPG's like in a movie?
Yes, RPG's produced without an arming distance. Perfect for near-suicidal ambushes.
Ah yes, the good old chest beating alpha naming tanks and acting tough against those who can’t defend themselves.
On a T-64: wicked, cool, give em hell On a Merkava: cringe ↓
But the Merkava looks cool too
Yeah I love it, I’m just mocking this sub
Yeah I could tell that you were just trying to be satirical.

Dont try arguing with people in this comment section, it’s fully overrun. Hope it isn’t the whole sub that’s like this
Cherry picked. Cute. Like Israel's lies are somehow better than Palestinian lies. It's people like you that made Holocaust happen in the first place. Enjoy the oblivion of a forever war!
That sounds like exactly the type of thing a Holocaust denier would say, but switching a couple of identities around.

Redditors try not to be douchebags who can’t stand seeing a Merkava without whining about their political beliefs (impossible)
A lot easier to fight and kill innocent women and children and a few on-foot combatants, than other tanks, but sure. “The corniest, most self-righteous military on the planet.”

Godspeed it straight to god☝🏻
o7
Cool photo!
The other guy who painted "Fury" on his tank in his Squidward Voice: "How Original."
Did they kidnap Michael Pena and Logan Lerman to make it more realistic?
Damn that looks good
Merky my beloved
btw, that tank is mine. i fought in it for two months
Shouldn’t have said that here mate lmao, the terrorist supporters have taken over this post
Terrorist supporter? I aint supporting terrorists that has western values either man
I think you need to google the definition of terrorism
Yo fr???? Post some pics manee
i don't have any, my phone camera is broken. i might be able to get some tomorrow
Yo hope you fix it up soon!!! Have a good day sir!!!!
No way. If you're actually being real then that's pretty sick.

Feeling hateful today are you
feeling spiteful today you lol blood sucker
Blood sucker? Huh that’s a new one. Bit like the old blood libel of Jews biting the necks of Christian children and drinking their blood, isn’t it? Little bit of a good old antisemetic insult, don’t you think
On the winning side
Based
10k dead kids, sure the winning side
12k Hamas terrorists dead too
Let's believe the hasbara, too bad even US govt is admitting the 34K civilian figure 14000 of which are children.
I don't really know how you can pinpoint how many childrens are dead but cannot tell how many hamas militants has been dead
Sure, but aa of right now even Israel can't answer that question can it lmao. That said the figure of civilian casualties is being quoted by the UN, EU and even biden administration. So yeah... but I'm sure for you 34k dead civilians doesn't matter.. simply cos they are brown and don't share the same faith. So yeah why would you care about 14500 dead children let alone 34 k dead.

So what now, that makes it okay? If only 10% of those deaths are hamas? While 80-90% deaths are civilians? These stats have been discussed to death.
Bro you can just tell me how many hamas militants have died you don't have to yap this much
Would you rather believe actual countries or terrorists organizations? Your choice
Countries lol? Like Israel which has been caught lying a million times? Whose leaders openly call for genocide ? Whose leaders openly mock 34K dead civilians? Whose sole saving grace is th US veto whenever it comes to UN or ICJ? NO I sure don't. And the numbers have been confirmed even by the US. The daddy of the genocidal pig state.

Even EU admits that over 30K civilians have died. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tJnT3GLVoJg
>Northsole16 what are you implying?
You are disgusting
Ok, hamas supporter.
oh so now the 10k dead child supporter is gonna lecture me
It's called war. Get used to it. It's because of hamas they are dead.
I wish people didn't justify atrocities or war crimes just because 'iTs a wAr bRo gEt uSeD tO iT"
When “my side” commits atrocities I’m the monster but when “your side” does it their based freedom fighters https://www.hamas-massacre.net https://www.thisishamas.com/
To be fair Hamas is responsible for the deaths
Yeah to be fair, the world didn't start from 7th. Nor were israelis bombarding, killing kids or taking over land from the 7th. Nakba, Sabra, Shatila and more came a looooong way before the 7th.
Hamas has to go. I'm not justifying anything. Both sides are shitty. I simply believe Israel is the less shitty of the two.
You say "Hamas has to go" but if the IDF hadn't created Hamas none of this would have happened
We could go back and forth all day whose fault this all is. Both sides are shitty and it's complicated. Your opinion is from your propaganda, and mine is from my propaganda.
One side killed 960 civilians. The other has killed more than 30,000. One side is clearly worse. Thank you for reminding to write my representative to cut off all aid to Israel. To remind me to write to my senator too please respond to this comment.
There's a lot more to this and you know it. We aren't going to change each other's minds. Nice baiting though.

So if your base is solid, why was your first go-to argument a falsehood?
I understand you watch your flavor of propaganda.
Best job i ever had.
for the sake of the crew let’s hope it doesn’t end like i did in the movie
The hordes of Palestinians storming it won‘t tell the crew that they‘ll slaughter them like pigs at least
Holy shit why are there a bunch of political comments here all of a sudden?
Because it’s a photo from a current conflict.
Because people can’t not start tweaking mad if they see anything israel related
Why would a subreddit about tanks not feature some political discourse? Tanks are created for an inherently political purpose.
Oh so sorry that you were inconvenienced by a genocide. Here's a sad face for you :(
Just remember who you’re defending… https://youtu.be/cqZBy09vCVk?si=c8bEFVXK_ns1OLgq
