Fun part is that there wasnt even one Mk4 destroyed by RPG, even RPG-29, all penetrating hits with RPG-29 were against Mk2 and Mk3. There were reports that Mk4 was able to withstand repetitive Kornet hits on side turret armor (2 hits to almost same spot...) Frontally no Kornet penetrated, few Mk3 Dor Dalet were damaged from side. For Hesballah every Merkava was Mk4 and everything on tracks was a tank...

Yep.... same old....same old. In WW2 every German tank was a Tiger and every shell that landed nearby was an "88". Hesballah was fighting a propaganda war and doing it well. There is no shortage of "journalists" willing to condemn Israel for any perceived transgression or ignore that Hesballah were using civilians as shields whenever possible and there were no shortage of people willing to believe anything that was shovelled their way as long as it made the Israelis look bad


I would be interested in your source about the Kornet hits on side turret armor.
