Kid doesn't have a shadow. Atleast, the one that's there doesn't look like it's his.

the 3 machine guns on top throw me off though. Modified maybe?

 

[Jugernot]

Yes, this is a modified image, the kids & machine guns up top are the biggest give aways.

I may be wrong, but it actually kind of looks like it could be an M60A3. Of course it's modified, but I don't think it's a photochop job. The kid does have a shadow, it's just the sun is at an extreme angle, so it doesn't look that prominent, but if you look closely, the shadow is there.

maybe...i've NEVER seen an abrams like that....


The armor is pretty cool.

 

[styrafoam]

It looks kind of like a British Challenger.

I'm pretty sure that's an Israeli tank... I think I've read a thing or two about it but eh who knows

 

[freegeeks]

it's israelian so it's a M60 an M1 or a Merkava

 

[Justin218]

Might be a modified israeli sabra tank (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/sabra.htm)
They are based on the M60

Mag'ach 6.

 

[Justin218]

yup, Mk4 looks to be correct.

That looks like reactive armor sandwiches. Armor insufficient? Bolt on some explosives! Who'd a thunk it.

Its not a photoshop. Its a AP wire photograph that was on alot of news sites. A guy on another forum I read has access to the unedited, full res AP photos and they are HUGE and very easy to tell if they are photoshopped. The kid does have a shadow and I can't figure out how you can't see it. Look at the shadow on the tank, its cast to the left. Now look to the boys left and under his left foot that is raised. Whats that? oh..its a shadow.

I think it's a M60 with "Reactive" armour added on.

 

[Lucky]

such a cliched image.

 

[tnitsuj]

M60A3 with applique armor kits. courtesy of IMI. I am pretty sure they call it the Magach 6a or something like that. Notice also the sleeved barrell.

They also have a fully modernized version called the Sabra which has a different turret and gun.

Yeah but it works!

 

[Metalloid]

I'm pretty sure it was put on a new background also.

EDIT: And what is that green thing in the lower left corner?

 

[ElFenix]

i guess you can use old tanks when all you're doing is bulldozing some rock-throwers

 

[PCboy]

actually it's a Mag Ach-8 with the M-60A-1/3 conversion.. since it has the dual grenade launchers by the turrets.. (forgot what they are precisely)
