Israeli Markava Tank... pride of Israel... and now the embarrassment of Israel

Whats embarassing about Merkava? That Hezbollah managed to destroy couple of tanks with Kornet missiles? So what? We lost hundreds of tanks in Yom Kippur war to Malyutka missiles. No one said Merkava is undestructible. Its just a good tank, no more, no less.

Since the instroduction of Merkava no Arab army dared to attack Israel: not Egypt and Saudis with their Abramses, not Jordan with Challengers, not Syria with T-72s. So Merkava is doing it's job well.

And by the way, there is almost nothing accuratre in that video.
