Friend, that's nothing really special, amost any ATGM could penetrate and knock out an Abrams from the rear, which was in this case. If the Kornets Es were fired head on or into the side of the Abrams, most likely they would have done nothing more then to mess up the paint job on the tank. And you made an error, it was the M1A1 that was in the gulf, no M1A2s were deployed.

but then again it was not the milan or spike that kill the "great" american tank m1a1. it was the kornet.

I'm just saying what's the big deal with the Kornet? You could fire some third world or first world ATGM, little diff...
It's like saying this sissors made in china can cut paper, not the american, german or israeli sissors, but the chinese one...
Of course we go big deal... -
no, there's no big deal here, you just can't get over it.Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:I'm just saying what's the big deal with the Kornet? You could fire some third world or first world ATGM, little diff...

even if it's the milan or some other atgm that kill the tank then i'lll also do the same. i think the problem here is not which "third world" or "first world" atgm that killed the tank, rather is the tank whick got killled that you can't get over .
whether or not the" scissors" were made in china, russia or israel or not it doesn't matter. the fact that it was the russian "scissors" here that cut the so called
"best, made-in-usa, thickest paper in the world" here .
did i even mention in the first place that i was harping on the fact that it was a russian made atgm that killed the american made m1a1? it was you that could get over this issue.
and pls lah huh. it's scissors ok! -
So what's with this post at all?
Just put Kornet E lah,
what a verbose title of blah blah blah blah blah
nonsense.
Might as well put "Helicopter that kill T-72, T-62, BMP2, land rover, honda, 3-tonner trucks, Iraqi infantry with AK-47 and donkeys in the gulf." when you want to introduce the apache.
It's you who need a little lesson in refining your basic communications skill. -
