Saudis only have M1A2:s so its not so hard to figure out. And their not-so-well-going ground ops in Yemen are pretty well covered so their losses is no secret. Several Abrams have also been captured and blowed up by the rebels after being abandoned by their crews.

But my point was that no matter how good tanks you have, use them wrong will lead to losses.

...as the current Iraqi forces are a testament to this fact.

Yeah what I'm saying is how do you know that's a video of a Saudi tank and not an iraqi tank.

Because the video was first posted on a Houthi rebel site.

We used to say "A tank in a town is a dead tank".

Russian proved that by trying to run masses of tanks into the ruins of Berlin 1945.
They lost 2000(!) of them there.

Speaking of Thunder Run I just found some news footage from objective curly that I'd never seen.

There are a lot of examples, Grozny in 1994-95 is another good one.

From like yesterday. Tank seems damaged but atleast one crew member gets out. Vid doesn't give much info on how serious the damages is but my guess is atleast "temporarily disabled"

Pretty much all tanks that is not burned out can be repaired, if you just can tow it to safety.

First a Merkava destroys an anti-tank missile. Second it destroys a RPG-29.
