In addition to the H39 the Isrealis also stole 2 Cromwells from the British and a Sherman tank hulk (they scrounged enough parts to get it working) at the start of the war, later in the war they aquired Shermans and half tracks from scrap yards in Italy, Belgium and the Phillipines.
@@shanekhiu9884 a decade ago in South America I saw a M42 duster fitted with a couple wire guided missiles as auxiliary bolted to the rear hull sides, forgot the name but the ones the ate up the Israeli forces in the south near the suez. The twin bofors would shred anything not a proper tank and the missiles were to dispatch the tanks. As few heavy vehicles as are down there and with what APDS ammo from a 40mm can do I doubt anything much would even need to bother with the missiles save if setting an ambush for a column. Sagger missiles mabee? The few times I spoke with a crew they thought the missiles were shit but loved the dusters as all they fought were guerillas with technicals, so happily hosed down the local insurgents with hi ex love and getting the occasional ricochet from the gun shield for return fire.
The Syrians had tanks from France, the Iraqis had tanks from Italy, and the Egyptians and Jordanians had British (and likely Italian) tanks. Hell the Jordanian tanks came with British tankers.
@@shanekhiu9884 There aren't any nations still using the T-34 as a tank. There's a few dug in as bunkers on islands near Vietnam and they've been used as stationary guns in Yemen. But there are a lot of nations still using the T-55 tank.
Why that? While inspecting an R35 modified by the Jerries, MAJ N. Moran (NVARNG, ret.) said that no tanker could enter a "Germanized" French tank through that very small hatch anyway. . .
Commenting on the purchases and shipments of weapons prior to Israel, the Czechs sent thousands of rifles and machine guns and millions of cartridges, the Jews who achieved that purchase have monuments in Israel??
The hi ex only load sounds like someone needed to dump a lot of useless ammo on a desperate customer. My experience any high pressure gun under 5cm firing hi ex is useless and below 7.62cm is even of questionable utility at times, with the only exception of coaxial .50 cal or 20mm explosive used as markers to make hits more visible to accurately bring the primary rifle to bear.
I don't think people quite have an appreciation of what a tank can do, if you are infantry with little to no anti tank capabilities you do not want even this little Hotchkiss supported by enemy infantry rolling up on your position. It can cause tremendous damage to infantry units and light vehicles and use as direct fire support for hostile infantry. Very dangerous.
I from 7 Mixed in 1948 Armor Man Devision - no tank come in very Bad condition from yougoslavia only 8 how much UK and France give to Arabs was 3 Wars 1947-48 and killed a lot of Jew survive Holocoust also s199 was sold Becuse Stalin o don't understand Israel Socialict not Komunist and all was broken and almost not used
Glad I could help out. Looking forward to doing more!
Thank you again and we are looking forward for more as well!
An unstoppable duo.

So the Israelis didnt have any better luck with these vehicles than the French and Germans.
The entire force, of five tanks? What a Microagression!

Man TE channel deserves way more subs, let's hope this featuring does the trick
It's always a little tougher, when something does not sounds like it is written on a toilet stall. 🙄
It may be a shitty tank but regardless of how shitty a tank is, if the enemy has no tanks or heavy guns it is the best tank on the field!
Same argument can be said of poor third world countries still using the T-34

H39 just might be my favorite tank, it’s so easy on the eyes
this channel deserves

This tank was loads of fun in low tier War Thunder.
Surprised to see any post-war H39s that still have the roof boob installed instead of the flat cupola.

That wasn't meant for access. Why would you go in through the tiny top cupola when you have a big ass door on the rear of the turret?
@@TanksEncyclopediaYT Oh yeah, I forgot about the ass door.
@@TanksEncyclopediaYT luke, be more polite when you speak as TE
@@TanksEncyclopediaYT don't listen to the Pavel guy. Insulting your viewers is based as fuck
Well done!!
Thanks! Always thought this shown H39 of the Museum would have been a trophy tank captured from the Syrian Army. . .
They do have some French-made trophy tanks, but it's a Syrian R35 c:

I’m having a good time already.
I think we found Israel reserve tank
War thunder Rank 1 reserve
Interesting stuff, but is it really little known that H39s were used in Israeli service? Good video all the same.
Ya they had like 10 there's many photos online

Long Life IDF and my beloved armor corps
how did you guys get him on board?
We kindly asked.
Didn't have to twist my arm to help out on a tank related project
He was actualy kidnapped by the space lizzard fans of this channel.
Well, it need chutzpah to attack with those. They were built for retreats.
Not a cone tank but... close enough
