Are tanks headed for the martial evolutionary grinder?

[Glenn]

Bullshit.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

O.K...So withdraw the tanks and nuke 'em till they glow...

[R. Scott]

No tank is invulnerable for long. With every advance in armor an advance in anti-armor weapons is close behind. This has been going on from day one of human warfare and will undoubtedly continue until the end.

***Experts say this is further evidence that Israel is facing a well-equipped army in this war, not a ragtag militia**

You dont have to be an expert to know that this is evidence that they are well supplied by another country whi is really behind terrorists. Hezballah hasnt bought these weapons legitimately, they arent a country, they are supplied by forces behind the scenes who encourage them in their terrorist ways. The fighting wont stop by killing Hezballah , but by taking the war to whomsoever is the supplier of the weapons.

[steamroller]

armor unsupported by infantry cannot work effectively against dug in infantry with anti-tank capability-the Israelis had a similar problem in the '73 war at one point-I believe it was against the Syrians,but I'm not sure -it's been awhile since I read about the incident

[rhombus]

More "Israel is losing" propaganda - especially the headline. If Israel were losing there would be no calls for cease fire from the UN. As the article points out, anti-tank weapons are just additional evidence that Israel is fighting more than just the Hezzies. The sooner this is out in the open, the better for the world at large.

More hopeful news from the hezbollah spin machine at AP...

Yallah Ya Nasrallah- watch out or the Israelis will fire up Moshe Dayan's tank at Degania and wipe out your armies again

[strange1]

that Israel is facing a well-equipped army

oh do tell, who do you suppose is supplying them?

[river rat]

The AP (Arab Press) sounds absolutely delighted the Israeli tankers are being killed...

Semper Fi

[RoadTest]

The article is slathered with anti-semitic prejudice, rejoicing that the Hezbollah army is a match for the Israeli army.

[YOUGOTIT]

Damaged three tanks? Not a signigicent number at all. If that is all they have done then the anti tank missiles are duds.

BUT the MSM (AP) is really trying to help the terrorist so they must say the terrorist are winning.

[mware]

Does Israel have Abraham (sp) tanks???

[jimtorr]

.........Israel is facing a well-equipped army in this war, not a ragtag militia.

If this were the case, then Israel would have all the justification it needed to increase the intensity of the campaign through-out Lebanon. A nation cannot claim innocence in an armed conflict when there is a "well-equipped army" on it's soil.

Of course, AP does not really believe what this story says, this is just another way to belittle Israel.

[tomzz]

Solutions to this problem exist now, Israel has simply avoided the expense and does not have them. Other than that, tanks are not appropriate for the kind of fighting the IDF is encountering now.

[Steel Wolf]

It's not that the tanks are being 'neutralized', the issue is that the more advanced Hizbullah's capabilities become, the more Israel's tactics will appear to be real warfighting.

Fighting a militia in urban terrain is one thing. Fighting a well equipped army street to street often involves leveling the street and everything on it. Artillery will be used to soften up every advance, followed by a crushing blow of armor and infantry. There won't be anything surgical about it. This will produce an environment of flattened villages and burned out cities.

If Hizbullah is trying to create an environment where the people of south Lebannon are turned into refugees, with no homes to return to, and are not allowed to return anyway for security reasons, they're well on their way.

[DustyMoment]

I tend to disbelieve this story since this information has not appeared in any of the pro-Hezbollah MSM. Somebody at the AP is sitting at home in the 'jammies putting out creative writing exercises to try to lower the morale of Israelis and Israeli forces currently kicking Hezbollah's butt.

Could Asso Propaganda be more hysteric and melodramatic? 44 soldiers in 4 weeks. That is one of the most pathetic performance by a guerrilla force in world history. But what does Asso Propaganda do? Spin it as this massive dramatic victory for the terrorists. What utter and complete nonsense. The number of people we lose in training accidents each year will be a higher number then Hizbollah will manage to kill in battle

European-made Milan missiles

IIRC, that's the item that the Croatians used successfully to keep
tanks at bay during the Yugoslavia break-up.
