Hamas displays locally made
tank  During a memorial service Saturday for seven Hamas militants killed when the tunnel they were in collapsed on them, Hamas rolled out what it called a "locally-produced" tank it said was fashioned out of an Israel Defense Forces' tank captured two years ago...... Netanyahu's spokesman Ofir Gendelman pointed out that the contraption appeared to be a mockup constructed of wood placed atop another vehicle whose wheels could be spotted poking out of the bottom. Others suggested the gun turret was actually a sewage pipe. I think they mean the main gun, not the turret. The end of the "gun" looks like a piece of four-inch (101mm) plastic pipe, the kind used in toilet drains, of approximately the same diameter of a real tank's main gun. Running it at night probably made it look fearsomely realistic. Posted by: lord garth & skidmark 2016-02-03 |
