Fort Latrun, built by the British in the 1940s. During the war for the independence of Israel, there were bloody battles between the forces of the Arab Legion and the young Israel Defense Forces. The fort remained in the hands of the Jordanians after the 1948 truce. During the Six Day War 1967, the fort was taken by the Israeli army.
In the 80s, this place became an official memorial to the soldiers. tank troops killed in all the wars of the State of Israel. The names of over 4,800 dead tankers are carved into the memorial wall. The tank museum displays about 200 vehicles of various armored vehicles that were in service with the Israeli army or captured in numerous wars.

I saw these models of tanks only in the magazine "Technics-Youth" in the historical series. And then go from the First World War .. Very informative.

They say that in a private museum behind Krasnogorsk you can see many interesting types of equipment - you can get from Moscow in general by city bus, it seems from the Tushinskaya metro station, they even told me the number, but I didn’t remember ...

  Several buses go there, and minibuses. From Tushino bus station.
  There are many techniques, but not as sure as in the Office of Kubinka.
  So it’s better to go to Kubinka.

There in the background is the German T-4. How fate happened. Jews in fascist tanks, set up by socialist Czechoslovakia, defended their independence from the pro-fascist monarchies of the Arab world, supplied and supported by the British.

    The dark green color of khaki is the initial coloring of the Israeli technique in the color of the field form. Although you are right. And the Syrians also had them. There are no photographs here, but it stands at a distance with a long-barreled gun. Why raised this topic. Yes, the Jews simply do not like to remember that for them freedom was defended by fascist weapons and Soviet specialists. Although there the Soviet flag hangs in the museum. The fighting units of the Jews were quite strong in spirit, but they did not know how to command correctly and did not know the technique. In the 48th, only the USSR recognized de jure Israel and could help, and not as the Jews of Manhattan now write with money and the lobby in the Congress sewn up the inhabited land.

Over the past 50 years, everything that is possible and not possible has fought on the "promised land".

Good evening everyone. What is this article for ?! Again propaganda! Again they want to accustom you to the idea that the troops of the "Jewish Cossacks who rose up" are invincible? If the Arabs 100 percent mastered the equipment that the USSR provided them, learned how to fight at night, coordinate the actions of tank subunits with the actions of artillery, aviation and motorized infantry, and also forget their stupid habit, when there is a danger of flanking, throw everything to hell matter and escape, the results of all, without exception, the Arab-Israeli wars could have been different! Israel is too "scanty" country to be able to wage a protracted war (no territory, no human resources, no material). Their only hope is financial support for the "world Jewish community" and the moral decay of the enemy, and subsequently a fleeting military campaign and the conclusion of peace through the mediation of world Jewry!
And the museum has collected a lot of things, even the French Renault, but just did not see the T-3 and T-4, which also went to the Israeli army from the British.

  See the previous photo above ISU-152. It’s so green. And the British did not deliver anything to the Jews. They then could not stand them, for then UN Palestine was taken from them, and therefore Arabs were set against them then. All German captured equipment was then supplied to the Juden by the USSR through Czechoslovakia, and Soviet Jewish officers controlled it.
  PS And in the 48th year in Israel there were three official languages - Hebrew English and Russian.

The most interesting thing is the "anti-slip coating" for tank armor, in the USSR and in Russia, with regular rains and sleet, there would be no price for such a coating.

Yeah ... with the maintenance of museum equipment, which is essentially unique, the Israelis do not particularly bother. It's a pity...
