The Israelis learned in Lebanon 2006 that heavy armor (not “light” armored vehicles) are still the kings of land war. Like us, they went into Lebanon thinking that the best way to fight in urban warfare is to ditch heavy MBTs and go in light. Now that they have learned their leason, they are rearming their MBTs for urban warfare and ditching the Stryker vehicle types.
I haven’t been paying much attention to the Stryker but I thought it was doing well. No?
