Interesting article in USA Today (page 10A Thur Sept. 14)

Quote:

Hezbollah laid ambushes throughout southern Lebanon's hilly terrain, hitting Israel's tanks with some of the world's most advanced anti-tank missiles.
The military had 400 tanks in Lebanon at the peak of the offensive. More than 50 were hit by Hezbollah-fired anti-tank missiles, killing 30 tank crewmen and disabling 22 tanks. Israel uses the Merkava tank. among the best protected armoured vehicles.
"We knew they had the best anti-tank missiles in the world," Rudoy said. "But we were surprised by the amounts, which at times seemed endless."
Militants were equipped with Kornet and Metis anti-tank missiles supplied by Iran and Syria. The weapons don't produce a large dust ball -or signature- when fired, making it hard for tank crews to see who is firing them.

End quote.

I can't check these stats and info. at this time; but am interested in any comments on how WinSPMBT may already reflect this sort of a result. I look forward to doing some testing myself in the near future.
