Where the hell do you get your military information, the back of a cereal packet? Why do you think the Canadians bought Leopard 2's specifically for use in Afghanistan, and why do you think the British and Americans used very large numbers of MBTs during the occupation of Iraq? Oh, and who won the Falklands war again?

Oh, and as an aside, don't pay too much attention to how well the IDF do - with some shining exceptions they're usually distinctly incompetent. The INS Hanit is a good example - when hit by a C802, they had turned off all the missile defence and warning systems on the grounds that "nobody is going to shoot at us", and then drove up and down just off the coast until someone hit them. Even then, it made it back to port under it's own steam with minor casualties.
