Israel Defense Forces

They say that women do not know how to change the wheels of cars, see how women change tank tracks. The press service of the Israel Defense Forces showed the work of the female crews of tanks Merkava Mk.4

 
The largest joint US-Israeli military exercise in history has begun. The Juniper Oak exercise will be one of the most significant maneuvers between the two allied states, which will involve thousands of units, dozens of ships and 142 aircraft. The Juniper Oak military exercises will last until Friday and aim to deepen cooperation between the US and Israeli military as tensions rise over Iran's nuclear program. During the exercise, missile boats and submarines of the Older Forum Navy will conduct joint maneuvers with an American aircraft carrier. In addition, at sea, at a great distance from the coast, refueling of missile boats of the Saar-5 type by an American tanker will be practiced. The allies are working out command and staff interaction, the use of aviation in combat operations at sea, refueling aircraft in the air, "electronic attacks", suppressing enemy air defense, intercepting aircraft, and much more.

Tests of 155 mm automatic self-propelled guns Sigma Israel. The German company Rheinmetall and the Israeli Elbit Systems conducted live firing from a 155-mm Sigma wheeled self-propelled howitzer. The demonstration of the new self-propelled guns took place in March at a training ground in southern Israel. There are no details on the new howitzer yet. It is known that the new self-propelled guns are equipped with a fully robotic loading system. The Sigma ACS is controlled from the cockpit by a crew of two or three people. The cabin of the L52 self-propelled guns has anti-fragmentation protection, a system of protection against weapons of mass destruction and air conditioning. The self-propelled guns are equipped with a 155-mm L52 Rheinmetall cannon and are located in the Elbit robotic artillery turret.

 

Defense tech firm Rafael reveals first-ever hypersonic interceptor

Sky Sonic system, under development for three years, to be shown off at Paris Air Show, after Iran claimed earlier this month it built a hypersonic missile

The Sky Sonic system aims to intercept hypersonic threats within the 20-70 kilometer altitude range, where the incoming missile would likely maneuver to avoid being knocked down by traditional air defenses.

Not really sure of the advantages of triple-pulse over dual-pulse.
 
Israel's Iron Beam laser air defense wall. The first laser air defense system "Iron Beam" developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems will enter service with the Israeli army within 18 months. Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said the decision was made to deploy a "protective laser wall" around Israel over the next 12 months. The Iron Beam laser air defense system will be the fifth element of Israel's integrated air defense system, along with Arrow 2, Arrow 3, David's Sling and Iron Dome. The first successful test of the Iron Beam air defense system took place in 2022, one laser air defense interception will cost $4, compared to one Iron Dome air defense missile interception at $50,000. The Iron Beam battery consists of an air defense radar, a command and control unit and two high-energy solid-state lasers with a power of up to 150 kW. The system uses two lasers to provide the power needed to overcome atmospheric interference and physically destroy a target by focusing beams into a single "coin-sized area". Air defense "Iron Beam" is designed to destroy missiles, artillery shells, mortar mines and UAVs at a distance of up to 7 kilometers, some sources indicate up to 20. The ground-based Iron Beam system was designed for installation on a car or armored vehicles, experiments were carried out on airplane.

 
The new Israeli tank Merkava Mk4 Barak entered service with the troops. The Israeli Ministry of Defense has officially announced the entry into service of a new modification of the Merkava Mk 4 Barak tank. The first tanks were received by the 52nd tank battalion of the 401st armored brigade of the Israeli army. The tank was announced before the situation in Israel worsened. The development of the tank began in 2015, the main innovations affected electronics. In the Merkava Barak tank, a new fire control system was introduced with the Makhshev Mesima task computer, which uses elements of “artificial intelligence”. The computer automatically identifies targets and distributes priority for their destruction, displaying an enlarged image of the target on the commander’s display. At the same time, “Makhshev Mesima” independently determines the type of projectile suitable for hitting the enemy, measures the range to the target, makes corrections for firing and aims the gun. The tank was also connected to the TORCH-X automated combat unit control system as part of the concept of network-centric warfare. The tank now has an Iron Vision system, which allows the crew to see everything that is happening around the tank at 360 degrees, day, night, in rain and fog. 46 computers and dozens of cameras record movement, identify dangers and transmit data. The information enters an electronics unit mounted on the commander’s helmet, and after processing in the form of a projected image, it is displayed on a small screen in front of the tankman’s eyes, as if wearing augmented reality glasses.

 
Against the backdrop of the escalating conflict in Setor Gaza, the Israeli army is beginning to expand the range of weapons it uses. Israeli aviation began using Spice-2000 precision-guided bombs in the Gaza Strip. The Spice-2000 glide bomb was introduced to the Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense in 2003. The bomb is guided by GPS and dropped at a distance of up to 60 kilometers from the target. When gliding towards the target, at the final section, the seeker of the aerial bomb searches for the target using pre-loaded data into the memory of the SPICE computer. Thanks to this targeting, the bomb has a deviation from the target of no more than 3 meters. Images of 100 targets can be loaded into the computer's memory. It is worth noting that India and Pakistan criticized these bombs for their accuracy, but whether this is real or not is in question. Judging by the video, the bomb hits its target accurately. The mass of the bomb is 907 kilograms, the price is unknown. The video shows an Israeli air bomb "Spice-2000" hitting the Allantay Bank in Khan Yunis.

 
Assembly of American GBU-31 JDAM bombs by the Israeli army. The Israeli army began to receive American military assistance. In the video, GBU-31 JDAM bombs weigh from 925 to 961 kilograms and have a range of up to 24 kilometers. The JDAM guidance system includes three main components: an inertial unit with a Honeywell HG1700 laser gyroscope, a standard Rockwell GEM military GPS navigator, and a control microprocessor. Possible circular deflection of the bomb from the target is up to 12 meters. The cost of a JDAM kit is from 21 to 36 thousand dollars.
