– Israel’s shock troopers will be the Tzanhanim paratroopers, also coming in two variants, “vanilla” & ’90. They will come in the forms of two 5-men FIST squads: Gavnuni, armed with M47 Dragon (identical to the Dutch Vuurploeg squads), and Mesaya’at, armed with a Mk.19 automatic grenade-launcher. – as other nations in the same situation, Israel was granted fire-support squads to compensate for its lack of Cat-C & B ATGM teams. – as for anti-tank crews, Tzahal’s sole one will be the late (1987) 2-men Dorban-LR team, armed with the deadly Spike-LR ATGM. – regarding anti-air specialists, Israel will rely first on the Bazak (= Redeye), then on the Barkan (= Stinger A) 2-men MANPAD teams. They will come in two variants, “vanilla” & ’90. – the backbone of Tzahal’s infantry is the Rovait squad, that is regular riflemen. In Wargame, they will come in the form of Miluim militia squads … riding into battle in their glorious Zachlam APC, a.k.a good ol’ WW2’s M3 half-track! 🙂 – the IDF’s reliance on reservists is well-known. – and finally, the IDF will have a 5-men infantry command squad, named Hapak. – as most country ingame, Israel will get a command helicopter in the form of the Saifan Pikud (= Bell 206). – the Merkava Pikud is Tzahal’s command variant of the Merkava I MBT. – the Achzarit Pikud is the command variant of the heavy APC Achzarit, an Israeli original unit (see VEHICLES below). – Mugaf is the Israeli name for the American M577 CPC. – salvaged from the previous Israel-Arab wars, the BTR-40 Pikud is the open-top, command variant of the Soviet recon vehicle.

– the M325 Pikud is Tzahal’s lightest command vehicle, a soft skin light truck similar to most other countries’ command jeep. – finally, the last cargo unit is the CH-53D heavy helicopter, known in Israel’s service as the Yas’ur. – in the early 80’s Israel started upgrading its cargo truck fleet with Oshkosh heavy trucks, more commonly known in Wargame as the HEMTT. – Tzahal’s workhorse when it comes to hauling supplies back & forth between the FOB and the frontline is the good ol’ M35 2½-ton cargo truck, nicknamed Rio in the IDF. – as each and every country ingame, Israel will have a FOB, the only ingame building, to re-supply & repair friendly units. So, here is an exhaustive review of the Israeli roaster ingame. We’ll be on Twitch at 12:30PM EDT / 9AM PDT to play against our community.
Nation Pack: Israel will be released tomorrow, on Tuesday, October 4th, at 12PM EDT / 9AM PDT (check the time in your time zone here), bringing 96 new units for this nation to Wargame: Red Dragon.
