“Even with air superiority, being in a tank is practically a death sentence..............”
If that were true, then Israeli armor losses in action would be nearly 100%. Show me any major operation where that can be documented and I’ll agree with you.
It all depends on what weapons the enemy has available in their arsenal. They are expensive.
If they have no tank-killer weapons, like the American TOW or Javelin, or the Russian Kornet, then you’re home for dinner.
Hezbollah used Kornets against Israeli tanks in Syria, destroying four and damaging 20 others. But nobody knows how they got them. Russia denies having sold them to Hezbollah and claims they were captured from Syrian depots........yeah riiiight...................
