Does it catch on fire like the other Russian tanks? (See Iraq War)

True but those where T-72s with mediocre crews facing the most highly trained crews on the planet at the time. Like Mike Tyson punching Steven Hawking in the face hardly an equal match up.

I think a T-80 or T-90 with a competent crew would be a serious threat to any Western tank/AFV. Even the insurgents in Iraq managed to destroy some M1A2s.

I think Iraq War II aka Desert Storm only showed that the planned action in Fluda Gap worked very very well against an inferior enemy.
