The Fall of the Israeli Empire
The same sad year when Intel proved not to be unbeatable, the same has happened to another big hardware : Israel's Merkava tank.
At around 1:40 P.M., an IDF Merkava tank was struck by an explosive device in the village of Aita al-Shaab in the western sector. The tank's four crew members were killed instantly. The IDF is still investigating the source of the explosion. The kind of damage sustained by the tank (its turret was blown off) appears to indicate that the vehicle was hit by a large explosive device, but a senior Northern Command officer told Haaretz on Wednesday night that it was more likely that the Merkava had been hit by an anti-tank missile.
Turrets blown off, crew killed instantly.
Will that hurt more Isarel's military industry and some future war expansion plans than the families of those poor 4 buried men? I am afraid so. Again, superior technology proved obsolete against the brave (AMD) heart.
AMD is here to stay! .
