In fairness, how many M1A1 Abrams did we see immobilised / destroyed by RPGs on their way into Bagdad.
Exactly, if an abram cant take an rpg, imagine what would bring that down.

It can - see above. RPG's aren't exactly the most powerful or accurate anti-armor weapon out there."Hello, Good Evening and Bollocks..."

The discussion about AML's looking like clown cars?"I have never accepted what many people have kindly said, namely that I inspired the Nation. It was the nation and the race dwelling around the globe that had the lion heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar"

Kind of hard to convey satire over forums, the original discussion was about neither clown cars nor abrams. Got any pictures of liberia?"I have never accepted what many people have kindly said, namely that I inspired the Nation.

The AML 20 or ninety is enough to ruin your whole day... they are not designed to protect the infantry... it is merely the armed recce vehicle of the cavalry whose primary function is reconnaisance.
On the other had if you get bogged down in an ambush the 20 and 90 can perform in the fire support role.
In South Lebanon the Israelis were frightened of two things... the 84mm and the AML 90... if you're are not intimidated... you should be.
A cavarly recce section can carry more fire power than an infantry company.
I'll be taking notes on who dosen't want support. The three man crew are well accomadated and if needs be can be the first into a fire fight....and first out!

So what you are saying is that looks can be decieving. Point taken, it's not a clown car."I have never accepted what many people have kindly said, namely that I inspired the Nation.

Jaysus i never remember the Israelis being afraid of much in the AO, well not the 84 or 90 anyways! Apart from a PLO/Hizbollah/Amal car bomb/RSB or such! The running joke was that the Israelis were afraid of the 90's:D They used to get wound up something fierce about this! From my experience i wouldn't have wanted to rely on a 90 for support given that they would struggle to get around as it was,whatever the excuses about it having a petrol/diesel engine.You'd have to nearly push the bleeding thing up Total hill.The vets here know what i'm on about,especially BMR ones at that!

As per my pm to you, the term you used to describe members of the army of Israel is offensive to Jewish people.
I edited this and substituted the word Israeli.
I understand there was no malice intended on your part, however racial slurs will not be tolerated on this forum.
If there is a problem regarding this issue, please feel free to contact an administrator.
Re changing of the crux of the post,you also have the facility to re edit your posts.
Back to the thread please.
