the russians went up against a highly capable opponent, with intimate knowledge about their vehicles, and armed with some of the latest russian anti-tank weapons. at one point russian tanks were driving down a street in grozny into an ambush. the chechens shot the first and last tank, and then proceeded to shoot every tank inbetween. the russians were helpless.
the iraqis never managed to set up a coordinated defense during OIF, or desert storm. at best, scattered forces took pot-shots at tanks driving down the road to baghdad in columns. several times, the iraqis had the opportunity to perform the same tactical manouver as the chechens did, on the americans, but never did. they could have let the main force pass by, and then cut off the supply train, but they never did. the israelis, who have traditionally been seen as a highly capable armoured force, was beaten back by hezbollah in the 2006 libanon war.

This has been a really interesting discussion. And if it contributes to just one person buying Steel Beasts Pro, that's great. The sim is terrific. Although it comes with a lot of stock missions, the SBP community has produced tons more that are challenging, interesting, and for those who enjoy multiplayer, keep that aspect of the sim thriving.
