  1. The Pereh (Hebrew: פרא: Onager) is an Israeli anti-tank missile carrier, disguised as a tank. Serving the Israel Defense Forces in the role of precision artillery since the mid 1980s, the existence and nature of the vehicle was declassified in June 2015. The Pereh is based on the hull of the Magach 5 (M60) tank and features an enlarged turret containing 12 Spike missiles in a pop-up missile launcher at the rear disguised as a turret bustle. The launcher is reloaded via a hatch at the rear with the launcher in the lowered position. Known as the Tamuz in Israeli service, the Spike-NLOS missile is capable of being used in both fire and forget and man-in-the-loop modes, either in the direct or indirect fire roles, and is able to destroy targets out to 25 km (16 mi). The front is fitted with a fake cannon to disguise it as a standard tank, but when deployed it can be identified by a curved antenna mounted at the rear on the roof of the turret, which is erected in the firing position. Other additional features include add-on frontal armor and storage boxes on the turret sides.

  2. 10:55 here’s the crux of the matter: we want to protect well trained drone crews with a mobile armoured chassis. The Ukrainian solution was to use a fortified bunker for protection and an ordinary thin skinned van for mobility. Which doesn’t look like a lot of fun when Chris Cappy from Task and Purpose had to leave the bunker and move around in the van with the drone crew while surrounded on three sides by russian drones.

  4.  @AnonD38  back when the gatling gun and the maxim gun were adopted they thought of them as artillery systems also. Eventually soldiers on the ground found new ways of deploying them forward of the protected rear where planners wanted these newfangled expensive systems to hide out.
