Don’t worry. The US will dip into its citizens’ funds to buy them more.

The US funds the tanks as well as the crewmen whom are directly shipped from the Bronx.

Using armor in urban combat has the results you would expect. Also doubles as an excuse for the absence of the IDF in Iran while US troops deploy.

The big question I have now is how many of these do the Israelis have? Is this a devastating blow, or just a scratch?

Best informed military made this mistake. Can’t wait to see how many more they make. Let’s hope for mutual destruction of all parties in the war.

Did a quick search and two different sources say they have about 1300 tanks, with 1000ish ready, as of January. So this took out about 2% of their tank fleet.
