> IN 2007 the Israelis utterly neutralized the state-of-the-art Russian air-defense system of Syria.
that’s israelis. they also won training dog fights with american pilots at the rate of something like 80:6. we don’t have pilots like that, not even close, so the point is moot.
> Our Bradley fighting vehicles used their 25mm Bushmaster cannons to destroy Iraqi T-72
do you even know what “72″ means? these tanks are 30 years old. t-80 and t-90 are much more serious contenders.
> Hezbollah fired over 700 Kornet antitank missiles at the Israelis in 2006 and manged to destroy just 2 (two) Merkava tanks.
hezbollah used them against israeli troopers more than against tanks.
> As far as I can tell, the only people who think Russian hardware is any good are Third World dictators and western leftists.
all our spec ops still pick ak-47 whenever they can. that’s some piece of russian hardware for ya.
the biggest mistake in war is to underestimate your opponent.
