The Degem Yud was actually fine, and can be considered the best Sherman ever constructed since it was made from already upgraded tanks.

the cool thing is their tank were built specifically for their geographical region they werent meant to be shipped thousands of miles overseas etc being improvised and role specific plus favorable terrain made these pretty decent (until rpgs and atgms became more common then you get into APS)
Reminds me of the Israeli S-199 (bf 109 copies) that Israel bought and fitted with bomber engines. Heard a story that one of the planes did not have an engine cover so they used part of a billboard.
Hi, Zisrael has a very long border to defend and had a tiny population in 1948. During the war, a large portion of said population was mobilized, but afterwards the Israeli Defence Forces shrank dramatically. This was predicted early on, which is why Israel set out to aquire tanks, which could do the job of large infantry units with a fraction of the manpower and thus allow to guard Israel's long borders with a much smaller force. Now, both the Americans and the Brits had Sherman tanks which they wanted to get rid of. The Israelis, however, noticed that when destroying their tanks, the Americans blew them on the outside, destroying the track-and-wheel system, but leaving the tanks intact on the inside, protected by the armor. Whereas the Brits blew the tank on the inside, destroying the tank as a functional machine, but leaving the track-and-wheel system outside intact, again protected from the blast by the tank armor. So The Israelis, with lots of experience in handling tanks from fighting for the British in WWII, easily built one functioning tank from one destroyed American Sherman - which they bought as scrap in Italy - and another destroyed British Sherman, which they collected from the British trash heap. Rinse and repeat. Only trouble was, both The British and the Americans blew up the tank canons so The Israelis couldn't find intact canons to replace them while still under an arms embargo. All creative attempts to patch those canons up failed. But those tanks wer After the war, however, Israel brogan buying much larger quantities of intact Sherman tanks from all over the world. And a few years later, sent them to France to be upgraded with new turrets and better guns. (See Sherman M50 & M51).
How.... Why.... Who..... Why does the Artillery look like a German modernized Version of The Grille???????!!!!!!! They all equally cursed ass hell!!! But we'll... It works today so I don't complain.
Up till 1960 Israel had no access to western weapons except from France where they bought light amx tanks and mirage jets later Sherman’s were fitted with 105 guns and fought t62. Tanks in 1973 on the golan successfully they fought with Mauser rifles received from Czech stores where the Nazi swatzikas were removed by the soldiers issued them as related to me by my father… who served in the 1956 war Improvisation is deeply ingrained within the military tradition there and indeed Israeli f16 and f23, planes are unique The nessessary for a bottle opener for soft drinks in the galil was due to soldiers using magazines to open them
It’s interesting to see the variants of the Sherman’s and how they’d be used. Mobile howitzer platform like the paladin. APC with a mortar mounted to provide mortar support for recently deployed troops. Portable missile system. But still, cursed.
