Looks like Sabra Mk1 with the headlight assembly, armour and merkava 1-3 track set.
Sabra Mk2 has different tracks and headlight assembly.
Sabra Mk3 should have Merkava IV tracks (heavy salt).
AFAIK, heavy salt. Mk3 info is very hard to find. As most of whats available is just based on circular references.
could be a photo shop? the missile’s pylons are missing, and the missile seems on another layer with better resolution
and 59G-105
and a evil idea: ROC also tested M8 AGS in 1995
I checked if it was with noise detectors, and there were no anomalies (note that the image I have posted might have some on the bottom left, but that is because I removed the watermark). Another person did too just incase, and also no anomalies, so it is most likely real. The missile could be mounted in such a way due to R-77’s not being able to be mounted like a normal missile on the J-8DH. The missile pylons are also there, the DH just has less pylons compared to things like the J-8F, where it still has 4 missile pylons.
Also, YJ-91 ARM was already mounted (or seen to be displayed next to) on other J-8’s, the F-8IIM even displaying air to air missiles too.
That’s a J-8F, which is much different. It does look like there is an adapter, but like I said, the R-77 isn’t mounted like they normally are, as you can see they’re mounted a little titled
Maybe as time goes on someone can post more info if they have, as iirc there was a brochure somewhere talking about some J-8 having the capability to have R-77’s, but I cannot remember it very well
nvm, I just use this random image for example, the adapter is still very strange.
I can only remember some article about J-8IIM mentioned this
That is indeed the “Mk.3”, as is apparent by the turret armor layout. I personally don’t think it should have ever been dubbed Mk.3 as it’s clearly a Mk.1 derivative meant to compete against the Mk.2:
Wildcat
Merlin Commando
Puma - just retired from service 2 days ago
The V Force
Canberra of the Luftwaffe.
That’s Classified
As if we don’t have aircraft ingame with classified statistics and such gaijin has to make up.
I have submitted an issue, and the administrator says“not enough info”
Did Gaijin made up the Statics for the F-117?
to add a bit more to the confusion,
the following is a Sabra Mark II Early Prototype:
and here is Mark III with Iron Fist:
Swiss upgraded Pz 87 WE
with Barracuda MCS:
(Part of tanks that could’ve been added instead of Leo 2PL and Leo 2A4M in Germany.
Leo 2A4M should’ve gone to UK and 2PL should’ve been reserved for a future Polish/Visgerad tree)
They’ll add/upgrade everything except reverse gears
The Finnish Armour Museum in Parola, Finland, displays this Soviet KV-1 tank, which was produced in June 1941 and taken by the Finnish forces in late 1941. (SOURCE tank-hunter.com)
R77 part in this image looks bit off
The YJ-91 part is off due to the red color (note that the same error level appears on the PLA logo), the R-77 doesn’t seem to be photoshop. We tried to find errors in different areas, even magnification and couldn’t see any yet.
I.e.; either this is a Photoshop at levels beyond any possibility of fake detection (AI etc) or a real Photo.
The confusion stems from assumptions made, it’s just a bunch of misunderstanding and misidentifications really. The Sabra “Mk.3” as everyone calls it, was a prototype for the Mk.2 and is depicted above, it came before it and might have been a competitor of sorts. That is the “Mk.3”, and it’s essentially a upgraded Mk.1 in some areas. They’re the same things really lol.
It’s impossible to be AI, as the image got uploaded during 2006 (image ofc is older, but im talking about upload date)
Unless there is some top secret AI that I am not aware of that existed in those times
