BOOM:
"And then you're on the ground here, asking for drone support for your troops, and you're told there's no money. From this perspective, infantry soldiers are being put at risk. They're cannon fodder. There's no other way to put it.""

The armored corps is feeling the strain as well.
"I served in an armored battalion that's part of a regular infantry brigade ranked high on the IDF's priority list," said a tank officer who spent several months in Gaza. "And even we were told at one point not to fire tank shells – unless it was the only way to solve an operational problem. Because of shortages."
"Our spare parts are in the worst condition I've seen during my service. We're missing pins and tracks – the basic components a tank needs to move. As for the tank engines, the army hasn't been following the required maintenance intervals based on engine hours since the war began – because they simply can't keep up with the repair demands."
A recent report in Haaretz on the impact of Germany's arms embargo on Israeli tank maintenance supports these claims.

The tank situation in Israel, which we talked about 2-3 days ago. The IDF is going to go public with this story, and Haaretz/YNet/Times of Israel will run with it, probably, pending military censors.
At the very least they'll have the NYT/Guardian expose the whole crisis:

Hebrew:
"Within a few days you will start seeing such reports in the news as a video!!!

Hamas terrorists are waiting for IDF fighters in Gaza

The IDF almost has no Merkava Mark 4 tanks, most of them are out of commission!!!

Our soldiers will enter Gaza with quite a few unprotected vehicles!!!

The Israeli government is abandoning the hostages and the fighters to die for the survival of Netanyahu and his government

The IDF has become the smallest army in the Middle East, with almost zero armored forces; if attacked by Egypt, Lebanon, or Jordan

The IDF has almost no functional armored vehicles to defend the country, the fighters are fighting with broken tanks

Even Nasrallah understood this before he died, mocking the IDF that the remaining armored vehicles will be destroyed in Lebanon

There is no need to destroy them, they will be disabled alone in the rocky terrain of Lebanon

The engines and propulsion systems in the Merkava Mark 4 tanks cannot survive!

The IDF cannot repair most of the tanks due to lack of spare parts, such as engines, bearings, brakes, and transmissions

According to foreign reports, before the war the IDF had 850 Merkava Mark 4 tanks - do the math yourself how many remain

Then you will understand why they are using armored crews for Merkava Mark 3 tanks!!!

Correct. And nigga, you're going to be completely out of tanks and APCs by the time your gay shit officially kicks off in 2 weeks.

Hamas has already blasted 35+ military vehicles in the last 7 days or so, including 10+ Merkavas.
And all your engines/engine parts come from Germany, which has now cut you off completely.

You're going to be rolling into Gaza City on e-scooters bruh.

Plus the engines are German made and now unavailable for Jews. All 3 of these vehicles depend on German engines.

>>513328544

Engines, mostly. Israel's main tank and main APC are the same on the bottom half, so same German made engine. And Israel's secondary APC, which is wheels not tracks, that too relies on German engine.

All 3 depicted here. These are the armored vehicles that IDF relies on. All german engines, now being withheld.
