Probably correct.
I read somewhere that the Romans building the ramp began taking casualties from the defenders’ arrows and boulders, so they brought in a bunch of Jewish slaves to finish the work.
My pleasure, thanks for the kind remarks!
I’m curious how the name Arrow came from Masada? Is the Hebrew for the word Arrow similar to it? I worked on the Arrow 1 from 1988-1990. Was there for the first test launch. Visited Masada a couple of times.
Bunch of fools got themselves and their families dead.
Predicable outcome.
I see nothing to celebrate.
There used to be bumper stickers in Israel that said Masada Never Again with an arrow like you would shoot from a bow on it.
My wife was the US Army Arrow Field Office Manager in Tel Aviv from 2005-2006. I’m very familar with the program, the conferences quarterly back and forth to the States, etc. Had many a discussion with IDF officers who told me how they would eventually deal with Hamas/Gaza. They said they would deal with it by a grid square system, one section at a time, above and below the ground. I had a more lineral impression but this is essentially what they have engaged in. It won’t stop until Hamas is stopped.
“I had to look that model pistol up, didn’t know it.”
Think of it as a Glock 19 Gen 5 clone but $125 less expensive.
