I knew a guy who was a U.S. adviser to I believe that exact unit. Definitely was the Cadillac-Gage armored cars. I remember him telling a story about an encounter with Yemeni T-72s in a border clash. I think that would have been before your time?

Could have been after, too. Our clash with Iraqi T55 and T72 resulted in 8 V150s destroyed and 42 KIA but half of that was probably due to A10s and Marine Cobras.

After the battle during clean up we found tanks with 4 and 5 TOW hits. One is almost always enough except for the ones fired too close to arm that just bounce around. Fun times.
