Is Sabra more survivable than Leo 2A4? Does Sabra have composite armor or just ERA?

Civilians return back to Syria’s Jarablus after Turkish-led operations clear Daesh

"Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said a Jarabulus-like operation could free the northern Iraqi city of Mosul from the Daesh terror group.

Turkey has intelligence data that concentration of troops of militants is observed in northern Mosul, as well as in mainly ethnic Turkmen town of Telafer, and these militants plan to kill the Turkmens living in northern Iraq, which is unacceptable for Turkey, Erdogan added."

Even we didnt solve this ATGM threat, why they dont take any practice solution for it ? somethings going wrong but what is it ?

Just to seal the deal we should also take the towns and cities thr Afrin YPG took when the Aleppo corridor was closed and the Azaz canton was continiously under attack by ISIS. Cities such as Minaq, Shaykh Isa and Tal Rifat. Those areas are mainly Arab/Turkmen anyway, the rest are solely Kurdish so let them have their Afrin canton for now.

You are right Tal Rifat should be taken too. Since it was emptied of civilians by YPG, TuAF and artillery can freely act there.

ISIS released video hitting 2 Turkish Sabra tanks with Kornet ATGM yesterday (6th Sep).

First ATGM hit turret side causing ammo ignition (as far as I understood 3 soldiers were killed in this incident).
Second ATGM hit turret front (after first impact tank turned its turret towards the ATGM) and it survived.

Maybe because its ''not'' our operation,as you know,we only have a support role.

How well M60 Sabra and Leopard 2 fare against ATGM?

Like Israeli Sabra update Added quite a Good Armor to M60 so how it fairs against common ATGMs in Syria like TOW,Kornet,MILAN, FAGOT etc ?

Link here describes Sabra after Kornet hit
