I'd say that dragon_master_gunner said it all. Saying somthing like: "someone has found the technology to pierce our armored tanks" is redicules. Hundreds and hundreds of RPG7s were fired at American tanks.
Probably thousends were fired at Israeli tanks. Ive heard of the RPG destroying a modern MBT twice. The last one was about 10 years ago. RPGs are not new "technology"...They are amongst the oldest AT measures used in the world. Similar to the German Panzerfousts and American Bazookas of WWII. In 1993 in Somalia RPG7s shot down 2 US Blackhawks. Are you saying that the RPG is a AAA weapon two...?NO it was damn luck. Acctually, Id say that the RPG7 is a more effective AA weapon(when used by the dozens) the a AT weapon. I head that a US helicopter was shot down in IRAq by mortar fire...Dose that mean that the Iraqis have new and sophistcated AA mortars?!
Nonsence.
