Of course it's not easy...
takes skill and training...
But even the Hezbollah managed to disable some Israeli modern tanks with ATGM in the Lebanon crysis...
How hard can it be? And they had no air support, no tank support...
I still have a hard time believing that a tank can be so hard to engage with modern weapons...
Take a Javelin missile against a modern tank. The soldier can shoot the damn missile from afar... The tank is easy to spot. It's big, noisy, and makes a lot of dust while moving...
They shoot the fire and forget missile, the missile lands on the top armor... End of story for the people inside.
These missiles arent made to miss or make minor damage...
I'm ready to take your word. I'm not a professional. But it's so simple in my mind. Maybe that I'm naive... but I dont see the problem.
The major risk is to be detected by the tank and engaged while aiming... But soldiers have training for that.
