At the rear of their turrets there is an overhang where what look like chains dangle down. Are they chains? What are they for? They’re on TV so often these days I may as well ask.
From this website http://www.army-technology.com/projects/merkava/ “A skirt of chains with ball weights is installed on the lower half of the turret bustle. Incoming HEAT projectiles detonate on impact with the chains instead of penetrating the turret ring.”

They match the earrings. Going into combat without the right ensemble is SO gauche.
