Are the Russians still using infrared for night fighting instead of thermal sight + light intensifier because if they do they can barely see anything at long ranges just like what happened to the Iraqis where the engagement i heard can be as far as 5 clicks. I'm aware of the significant velocity drop at long ranges and accuracy problem in the T-72s and they need to stop while firing.

Talk about tanks i heard there's some dissapointment over the Merkava performance in the last year's Lebanon war. Obviously I never thought that infantry anti tank weapons can be so effective against modern tanks. A wake up call for every other modern tank probably? Does anyone know ho many tanks do the Israeli actually lost in the war? Did it happen on a day or accumulated over the war period?

Nevermind abt the Merkava. I just googled it.
