In 1973, Egypt defeated Israeli tanks with anti-tank missiles. All of these tank battles were fought in open fields. The Gulf War and the recent war in Iraq saw US tanks in open fields.

So every war we haved used tanks in has been open fields, except vietnam... and we know how useful tanks were then lol

well if you dont know all the tanks did was break down cause they couldnt handle the terrain. my dad was a tank mechanic in vietnam, i know this as a fact.

American and Western tank commanders do not know how to fight tank battles in rugged terrains... so not only is the actual tank useless out of open fields, the leaders are inept too
You're comparing our 'tank technology' of ww2/korea/vietnam to that of today, not really fair wouldn't you say?

If your dad was a tank commander why don't you enlighten us on what model he worked on, along with where he was stationed and took AIT?

American tank commanders do not know how to fight tank battles in rugged terrains? Hahahahaha....
