He said again? Another Defender and Zibar? Here are some unorthodox directions/manufacturer site
Many more articles and books will be written about the ground maneuver episode in the Gaza Strip during Iron Swords. But one of the things that this campaign, which is not yet over, has floated is the amazing advantage of light, fast, stealthy and flexible vehicles in their operations in a field cell of dense and distributed combat. The ability to move in different, hidden, dark and unexpected axes was a crucial part of this confrontation, whether in the use of special forces and also in logistical aspects of satisfaction up to the mission of rescuing the wounded.
During the war, the IDF received two new patrol vehicles from the USA, the Flyer 72 made by General Dynamics, which was named Barry, and the JLTV made in Oshkosh. Also the honor of the Hammers, Defenders, Zibars, Flyers, Zimags - in its place, just on the occasion of what seems like a drop from the intense combat to a more limited scope, at least until the next time - here are 5 tactical vehicles right out of the box that we would be happy to see there in the next round.

1. Rovzani tank - for Ogdoner Hamgundar
California-based Rowzani Motors isn't exactly a car manufacturer. The young company was founded in 2013 and employs about 10 people, knows at least on the face of it how to do two things - the beast and the tank. The first is a kit that transforms the Ariel Atom from a track-focused sports car into a roadster that looks like the love fruit of a Lamborghini Aventador and a Mazda Miata. The second is a complete super monster that is apparently based on the Jeep Wrangler chassis, with a length of 4.7 meters and a height of 2 meters and under its hood you can put a calm 6.2 liter V8 option or throw a supercharger on it and get 1,000 hp out of it. In the military specification His comes with windshield and body protection as well as night vision and thermal vision built in.
There is only the matter of the price, which they are not ashamed to point out - starting at $175,000.

The intriguing process of recycling metal packaging
In cooperation with the Tamir Recycling Corporation
there is! The Hummer is returning to the army!/Manufacturer's website
2.eMCV - charging station in Tsalim
This vehicle, which is based on GMC's electric Hummer is not yet serialized and is still defined as a concept, but is worth mentioning for two reasons - 1. It offers off-road capabilities that probably only the original Hummer can match, 2. The potential it offers is a solution that may actually become viable in a military reality . This vehicle developed by the military division at GM - aka GM Defense presents on top of the civilian base with its 200 kWh battery, 1,000 hp and its 3 seconds to 96 km/h a vehicle that is adapted for special military uses. Adds to it huge 37" tires with "Bidlock", the same ring that fixes the tire to the rim, FOX shock absorbers and protection.
And what about the charging after it drives the 480 km of its range? you ask Well this Hummer has a built-in generator, which in 12 minutes of operation allows it to have a range of another 100 miles.
Relying on a civilian van lowers maintenance costs/manufacturer site, GM Defense
3. Chevrolet ISV - from the farm to the front
We really like pickups, we really, really like American pickups and we absolutely love the American pickup called the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, the sport-off-road version of the Colorado. The one that is not designed to lead with hay bales but to jump over them.
So remember GM Defense from the previous vehicle? So these guys took the Colorado ZR2 and turned it into a fast tactical assault vehicle. Its name - ISV is simply the initials of the designation for which it was built - Infantry Squad Vehicle. And like its name, what it is supposed to do is load an infantry squad or a special forces team on its equipment and fly it in all terrain conditions to the target.
As in many cases in the past, one of the advantages of using a civilian vehicle is the possibility to access very large quantities of spare parts and the possibility to work on it even without special or dedicated tools in regards to the mechanical and maintenance aspect. In addition, the fact that it is based on a pickup truck that is not very large and even quite light in terms of military vehicles - only 2.5 tons - allows it to be transported in medium attack helicopters such as the Owl (carrying) or large transport helicopters such as the Chinook in the belly of the helicopter.

4. Ariel Nomad Tactical - a fun day in the enemy's rear
Well, we know, it's less of an off-road vehicle that a normal army would adopt and more of a fantasy of some military development officer who convinced someone to try to do it. But the result is the tactical version of the Ariel Nomad - which itself is a cross between a formula car and a buggy.
So it has no countermeasures Missiles, or machine guns, not even against small arms. In fact, even a Rogetka really threatens those who sit inside - but as those who really understand will tell you - the protection from steel plates is an illusion. Real protection is not to be hit in the first place and that is done with speed. And speed is something which this tiny buggy has in abundance. Its 793 kg is carried by a 2.4-liter Honda engine and 230 hp that are enough to bring it to 96 km/h in 3.5 seconds over any off-road route and to a maximum speed of 200 km/h, Again, on any type of ground. Of course, every component in it is adapted to a durability task first of all, the profile of the pipes, the shock absorbers, the tires, the protection plates, the built-in winch and even the lighting units that can be obtained in a different form that is less damaging and can be blackened.
It is not supposed to drive entire companies , but to be a tool of primary force like a point squad for observation or navigation, and if so an entire team needs to be led? Oh well, then we'll buy 8 pieces...
Eliminate the order of finished knees, the Polaris is the sufferer/site manufacturer
5. Polaris Sportsman 850 - for the spoiled sniper
You'll usually see the Polaris Sportsman hauling small carts on farms, herding herds or loaded with camping gear. But it also has a military version that takes this rugged, offensive and very easy-to-operate platform and turns it into a kind of massive force multiplier for observation, anti-tank and sniper squads consisting of two people or even a foursome going out with two tools. Very low signature, possibility to move even in coils narrow, you can hide the tools in any crevice, in a large bush or between trees and even occasional sheds.
The tool itself allows you to carry a total weight of almost 300 kg on its two reinforced porters, protective plates add durability in disaster-prone places, the 850 cm engine Its 77-horse "K" is muted and the lights are blacked out, and just in case, it also has an original built-in winch. But the really good part - its tires - are the last word in airless tires, eliminating a series of punctures in the area of cargo shards.
