    Not to be pedantic, but attention to detail is important in this world of mis- and disinformation. It reduces credibility and distracts from the point being made, if the details are incorrect.

    Those are not tanks, no turrets and barrels. Those are wheeled vehicles, looking at the tracks in the dirt.

    Edit: those are Eitan armored personnel carriers. Notice the “Sponsons” on the back of it matches the sat image

        Well, they both still belong to the category “heavily armoured military vehicles”, so I think everyone understood what you meant with “tank”, even when some of these heavily armoured military vehicles aren’t mainly for offensive action and don’t move with tracks.

        For invasion purposes, wheeled personnel transport is probably scarier than a tracked tank.

        A tracked tank will go over most things and have firepower sure.

        But if I had to take over an enemy position and got to choose either a personnel carrier’s worth of infantry or one tank, I’d take the infantry. Much harder to kill an entire team than completely disable a tank.
