An Analysis On The Impact That Russian Tanks Had On The Syrian War



National Interest: Russia’s Deadly T-90A Tanks are Blowing Up (Like Everyone Else’s) In Syria

The interconnected conflicts raging across the Middle East today have amounted to a dreadful human catastrophe with spiraling global consequence. One of their lesser effects has been to deflate the reputations of Western main battle tanks mistakenly thought to be night-invulnerable in the popular imagination.

Turkey, which had lost a number of M60 Pattons and upgrade M60T Sabra tanks to Kurdish and ISIS fighters eventually deployed its fearsome German-built Leopard 2A4 tanks. ISIS destroyed eight to ten in a matter of days.

    Since the life expectancy of a tank, in battle, so low you would think they would have developed a shield, perhaps using laser that would protect them.
