Great.

So, both Ofek, are they Mk-2 or Mk-3 based ?

The prototype were based on Mk-2, the production vehicles are based on Mk-3.

Taken from an Israeli site, the interior of an Ofek, the love child of a Merkava and I don’t know what... a M577 Mugaf?

That "Israeli site" you reffer to is actually the Forum i manage and admin - and the photos were posted by me. At least have the courtesy of giving proper credit!

i'd like at add some relevant photos, how is it done?

Not experimental, this is a standard operational improvement. After the Namer gone active at big quantities, all the older HAPCs were retasked and improved for their new roles. Take a look at recent Nagmachon photos, they have some new parts installed.

Lunch box without hinges? what kind of blasphemy is that?!

Some kind of radar or disruption system.

It appears to use an FMTV's cabin and a Wildcat's armored capsule, which could be an advanced prototype for a Ze'ev replacement.

Sadly no purchases of Sandcats are made to replace the HMMWV vehicles. These could really drive up their exports.

Wildcat is an IMI product, why would MASHA display a competitor's product in their 70th anniversary ceremony?! it doesnt make any sense.

Also, Sandcat has to many vulnerabilities compared to the spartan design on the humvee - so its not an equivelant to it.

Forget the Eitan and open your eyes - 2:26 and 2:31, next to the humvee, an armored light truck. its NOT Wildcat, not likely armored LMTV, honestly i have no idea what it is...

Couple more of the Mk.3-based Ofek

Is Ofek from exhibition a serial variant or demonstrator?

Serial variant of the new model, based on the Mk 3 chassis - Thought someone would have noticed the stark difference by now.
