It is a darn shame they waste vehicles like that. If they need the big rush in a tank show of crushing something they could use a mock up or just throw each other under the tank!

Was that a real Jeep? Granted, its a poor picture, but there seems to be no depth to the grill, like its a mockup.

That picture makes me frown every time I see it.
However, I hold to the hope that it is fake. It does look like someone pasted a pixelated image of a tank on a drawn crushed MD.

Isn't that an Isralie letter next to the number on
the mud flap of the tank?

from the looks of the pic no real jeep was harmed. It just doesnt look right, and the colors are off, shape seems strange as well.

I checked "Hebrew Alphabet" on Google and I believe
that symbol is for "Alef" and it makes me wonder if
the Cimmerians are active over there.

This is a heavily retouched and recolored photo - not a jeep at all. Clear copy of the original pic is here.

Their websites says: "The Cimmerians is a non-profit group organized for the purpose of performing Mil-Sim [Military Simulatoin - realistic historical combat re-enactment], and educating the public about military history using
Airsoft field equipment". They are in San Francisco, CA.
I doubt we are in any real danger or threat from this group.
