Quite forgotten, I know, but this is the back spine of the magazine. I found two dozen bullets on the floor of the bunker and several empty casings, so I knew I should look for a mag. In some places the mags are being preserved better, in some they are worse, depending on how dry they stay.
I've started work on a personal project in which I intend to use an analog micromirror array. I saw a cool kit from Fraunhofer which offered a 256*256 AMD which seemed nice, but it did not specify if it was a 2-axis. Since I'm kind of new in this field (most of what I did so far was in pure mechanics), I wanted to ask in here if this is even a realistic thing or if devices in that category (size of array, analog, two axis) will require me to sell my underwear? If not, are there any other recommended manufacturers or models? Edit: apparently they cost as much as a car in that size range, and only Fraunhofer makes them.

The BTR-152s were a part of a large Syrian force that surrounded outpost 116 of the Israeli army. They were probably moving at the time they got hit, judging by the fact they were loaded and in a bad position to fight from. They were both hit in the front, facing west, which probably means they were hit by forces of the 205th brigade coming to reinforce the outpost and break the siege. Both of them burnt quite fiercely, but the mortar rounds were not armed and only two seemed exploded, in a rather disappointing fragmentation (just broken in two). The rest were either live or burnt and empty. The mortar was a Soviet M1937 manufactured in 1942.
This photo is from Kibbutz Gonen, an Israeli Kibbutz (socialist heaven form of settlement common since 1909 till the early 1970's) in the Hula Valley, just under the Golan Heights. Due to their position under Syrian outposts they were shelled constantly until 1967. During the 6 Day war in 1967, several farmers from the Kibbutz went up to the Golan heights and found an abandoned, yet drivable tank. They took it home and turned it into an "Efron", an agricultural tool used to harvest and maintain taller fruit trees such as avocados or palms. The turret of the tank was turned into a playground attraction, painted blue. The tank was restarted a few years ago after laying in a garage for 40+ years, using stolen replacement parts from SU-100 tank destroyers that lay in a nearby monument. Some years after the war military police demanded to confiscate the tank, so they got a slip from Rafael Eitan (Raful), then the commander of the northern command of the IDF saying they can "keep the bloody tank".
