- Точно, правильнее не леопард, а тигр, а если совсем уж точно, то и не Намер, а НАМАР - поскольку это на самом деле аббревиатура: "НАМАР симан эхад" ("номер 1").
Не буду вас учить евриту
, но Тигр - tigris
Намер - леопард
Намер - тигр, а намера - это его жена...
ARMORED WARFARE: Israel Drops Stryker for Merkava APC
January 11, 2005: Israel has decided not to buy American Stryker wheeled armored vehicles for two of its infantry brigades. Instead, it has designed a new armored personnel carrier (APC) based on the chassis of older Merkava I and II series tanks. These tanks are being retired, and one such Merkava I is being turned into a prototype of the new
“Nemerah” (“Tigress”) vehicle. This APC has the thick armor of the Merkava, but the turret is removed and a remotely controlled (from inside the vehicle) heavy machine-gun would be added. The Merkava lends itself to this kind of modification, because the engine is mounted in the front and there is already a door in the back of the vehicle. The Israelis liked the speed of the Stryker, but they apparently feel they will still be fighting in urban areas, against Palestinian terrorists, in the next ten years. There, the Nemerah has an edge, because of its thicker armor. Out in the open, the Stryker has the edge. If the Israelis cannot afford to build the Nenerah, they will add armor to their existing supply of M-113 APCs.
а насчет фоток изнутри - спасибо! хотя и было ясно с самого начала, что таковые найдутся, учитывая явный дискрепанс между паранойей израильского "битахон саде" и его же разгильдяйством
