This is the Israeli Defence Forces M113 "Bardelas". It has a host of features includeing:

2 seats
No weapons
No ammo boxes
No smoke
No thermals
No armor

The "gunner's" turret doesnt even turn, meaning that he can only see straight forward.

So I ask you, what does this vehicle do other then cost the IDF 10 tickets?

Its a logistics vehicle. It carries 2 supply crates so its hard to take down and nice to bring out in battle.

Drop crates and repair drops. It's a logistics APC.

It's a supply truck that's armored. I believe it has the big crates, repair crates, and CSB deployment?

it's also amphibious, which can be relevant.

That's the function by and large. It's rumored to have some special abilities like "armor" and "flotation qualities", but these are either missing or so situational you're better off taking a truck.

IDK what it is, but it scares the **** out of Hamas. I was driving it the other day and they were fleeing in terror, not noticing that i could barely harm them. The sound is intimidating though.
