The Army of Lebanon

[zaher_leb]

Speaking about the LAF equipment, note that the purchased Belgian Leopards 1/A5, AIFVs, and M113 Ambulances will be very soon in Beirut.

Will they !! I thought the U.S intervened to cancel that deal ?

[zaher_leb]

No, they signed a ~3.5 millions Euro deal late August, I posted about this earlier in this forum, however there were no responses from the members.

Anyway, they are on their way to here.

Cool, thanks for the info much needed equip for the Lebanese Army, I wish we could see a few new jet fighters flying in the sky I still remember the hunters (and maybe the Mirage) from when I was a kid, In anycase anything to strenghthen our army helps.

Oh the 80s Version Of leopard?? Why not give Us The Leopard 2 then?

And the Stupid AIFVs That are mainly used to kill FootSoldiers, Basically this weapon causes no threat at all to israel, It's Just an APC better suited for Battle. They want us to kill each Other with these weapons as usual.

Then they Give you MORE M-113s, Or Cardboard Boxes of Death. Description:M113A1-B-Amb - Ambulance with room for 4 litters. This type is unarmed but is fitted with six 76mm smoke grenade launchers. (i bet they did not offer the grenade launchers).

I am thinking Of saving some Money and Buying the Army an M730 Surface to Air missile Carrier For Next Christmas, They could come in Handy against Israeli Air Breaches.

There are many discussions and many rumors. There were serious talks about some Hawks, but it seems they were dropped.

The Leopard was still used up to this year in many armies, including Canada and Belgium, however those armies are changing many concepts in their tactics, and they are replacing those tracked tanks by wheeled tanks and fighting vehicles, this is why we were able to get relatively good tanks for a very good price. (Btw Belgium sold Jordan 20 F16s for a very good price also, around 4 million Euros each only)

Those Leopards anyway have many features that are not available in any tank our army posses (ex. thermal imaging), so it is better than nothing.

And the Stupid AIFVs That are mainly used to kill FootSoldiers, Basically this weapon causes no threat at all to israel, It's Just an APC better suited for Battle. They want us to kill each Other with these weapons as usual.

The AIFV has a powerful 25 mm cannon, of course it will not be used against Israeli tanks, but it is important for many of the LAF tasks in urban zones, it will do better than the M113 (Better armored and soldiers fire from inside their turret). On the other hand, its cannon is effective against lightly armored vehicles, helicopters, rooms etc...

Then they Give you MORE M-113s, Or Cardboard Boxes of Death. Description:M113A1-B-Amb - Ambulance with room for 4 litters. This type is unarmed but is fitted with six 76mm smoke grenade launchers. (i bet they did not offer the grenade launchers).

These are specifically Ambulances M113s, which the army lacks. They are better equipped for medical tasks than any of the current M113 acting ambulances.

Very perfect Choice Esp. S-400

The S-400 Triumf (Russian: C-400 «Триумф») is a new generation air defense system developed by the Almaz Central Design Bureau as an upgrade of the S-300 family. Its NATO reporting name is SA-21 Growler. The S-400 was previously known as S-300PMU-3. It overshadows the capabilities of the other systems from the S-300 series, and its range is more than 2 times greater than that of the MIM-104 Patriot system.[2][3]

The S-400 is capable of detecting and destroying targets out to a range of 400km (250 miles), such as aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, including those with a range of 3,500 km and a speed of 3 miles per second and stealth aircraft.[4] [5][6]
