Merkava Rollover in Lebanon
Published 5 days ago
Footage recorded on an interior camera viewport inside of a Merkava captures the embarrassing moment a center vehicle in an armored column falls off the side of the road, completing a full rollover. Having personally experienced four vehicle rollovers in combat, I can tell you from first hand experience that they're a combination of embarrassing and terrifying. First, you have no idea if everyone inside of the vehicle is okay. Second, you have the instant fear in your gut that someone inside of the vehicle is in fact, not okay. Following that, you have an embarrassing several hours of recovery work and the inevitable after-action of explaining to higher headquarters why your unit just ruined a perfectly good vehicle. I hope the embarrassment part is all these guys have to deal with.
