Anti Tank

Why are Merkava tanks unable to survive hits by surplus European & Russian anti-tank missles?
The Merkava tanks are said to be designed as the most survivable tanks in the world, yet 4 were lost to these portable shoulder fired rockets or guided missles in the wide open spaces of Lebanon. Is this just another example of marketing and militarized P.R. tactics to help create an Illusion of Israeli Invincibility, you think?
To LIGLE, Why the hostility? You have stock interests in Israeli Defence Industries. I am not creating fantasy, this is a truth that should be known, you troll.
There are three issues.
1) The anti tank missiles being used by the Hezbollah are of the very latest technology and as they are being supplied by Iran and Syria they are likely to be a mixture of Russian and French.
2) The Israeli tank commaders would probably not have been expecting anything more than the usual shoulder fired rockets (as carried by every well dressed guerilla fighter globally) which to be honest probably wouldnt even scratch the paint on a Merkava.
3) Hezbollah are actually a very well trained group and are led by Iranian special forces officers and so far their military prowess has been better than anything the Israelis have seen before from the Egyptions, Syrians, Jordanians, and others.
Given the losses in the last few days (12 tanks) I think you will see a change in tactics to address the issue.
