Thanks man. I couldn't remember the name of this vehicle let alone its specific title (make, model/class).
I took this photo a couple of weeks ago when I was in northern Israel. I zoomed in and cropped it so you could see it better. Lebanon is literally a few meters away. What came out of it nearly knocked me over. It was so loud and the sulphur(?)/smoke singed my nose hairs. I saw 2 rockets come out of there and watched the thing rotate etc. I took lots of pics of artillery, tanks, and guns. I will need help in IDing them if you guys are up for it. I have 4 rounds of something that I brought back as souveniers. Apparently they're live rounds. Oddly enough, the ammo box I had as a souvenir didn't make it through security and was confiscated at the airport, but 4 bullets made it through.
By the way, how do I get the picture to show up in the post instead of just the link?
