Certainly this group likes tanks!

The interconnected conflicts raging across the Middle East today have amounted to a dreadful human catastrophe with spiraling global consequence. One of their lesser effects has been to deflate the reputations of Western main battle tanks mistakenly thought to be night-invulnerable in the popular imagination.

Iraqi M1 Abrams tanks not only failed to prevent he capture of Mosul in 2014, but they were captured and turned against their owners. In Yemen, numerous Saudi M1s were knocked out by Houthi rebels. Turkey, which had lost a number of M60 Pattons and upgrade M60T Sabra tanks to Kurdish and ISIS fighters eventually deployed its fearsome German-built Leopard 2A4 tanks. ISIS destroyed eight to ten in a matter of days.

Well duh. Give expensive toys to poorly trained troops with no experience, and they soon get all blowed up when they come in contact with more motivated fighters armed with Javelins supplied by Obama and co.
His Jayvee team was certainly well outfitted.

Invulnerable?   No tank is "invulnerable."  Even the Sherman version 1.0 mod, in WW2,  took out a few of those massive Nazi Panzers,  if they managed to shoot it in the butt.  Of course generally the huge Kraut Panzers were better armed and better armored and that provides a great advantage.
