And British night vision equipment sent to Iran under a non-export drug fighting agreement. Come to think of it, the Russian weapons were under the same non-export agreements. I wonder if either government will actually do anything about the breech.
Actually, we couldn't supply Israel with better armor as they had the best in the world. Had is the operant term as they have cut down the creation of many combat materials in favor of American versions based on "government aid" from America that really means discounts in buying American weapons. If Israel just stopped this they would have used their own equipment more and had more success. If Israel (or Olmert) stopped looking to America for approval for every action, they would have actually fought this right. But instead the government held back those with the knowledge and experience needed to do this right. But what do I know, I just read what others say. :) > The single biggest problem Israel faced were sophisticated Russian > anti-tank > rockets that penetrated the armor of their Merkova tanks.
