The IDF has a tank trailer for the Merkava. Though it is more a special purpose device for particularly risky resupply missions than a general purpose thing.
The big issue with that article is it mostly uses articulated tracked vehicles as examples. These are not the same as conventional trailers because the "trailer" is powered and steered and is not really a trailer at all. It also sidesteps that a tracked supply carrier is not automatically a well-protected supply carrier. And that an armoured tracked supply carrier will consume almost as much fuel and spares as an actual armoured vehicle.

It lasted 9 years so it must have done something right.

Doubt it was in working order but neither are most other things on there...

So, is it actually illegal to send PMCs to war-torn nations for not-shady reasons *cough* supporting rebels n shieet, or will the UN as usual send a letter of condemnation towards my nation for "unlawful use of mercenaries"? Gotta need PMCs to do the dirty works a military won't do.

State Military Contractor? As in, state owned PMC. Hey, that gives me an idea. What if the Presidential Guard also function as PMC. Or the National Guard? Any thoughts? Separate from the Armed Force, obviously.
