The Lebanon war was a war of rockets, missiles and anti-tank missiles. They are cheap and very effective. The Hezbollah provoked Israel with rockets and missiles then combated Israeli armour with anti tank missiles. Hezbollah used lots of anti-tank missiles and fired at a lot more than tanks
Armour has lost its advantage and so have our armored ships and aircraft carriers that can be taken out by Sunburn and other Chinese missiles. Russians have a few too I think
Armor is slow plodding and expensive and eats up tons of petrol, needs lots of logistical support while rocket and missile positions are much more mobile and easy to hide. Are the choice of the poorer nations and the guerrillas. Are equalizers
The Pentagon is the plodding tank and always fighting the last war...what they should be fighting is the next Israel vs Hezbo war without Olmert & Livni to FitU!
