Ukraine: The Russian Army is now visually confirmed to have lost at least 300 tanks, including 128 destroyed

It's baffling when you consider that, during the 34-day invasion of Lebanon in 2006, the IDF had 50 tanks either fully damaged, damaged, or temporarily out of battle for repair. It shows how abundant ATGMs are in Ukraine and how scarce they were in Lebanon in 2006. (1/2)

⋯ But unlike Russia in 2022, Israeli tanks can't be killed as easy as Russian tanks. The trophy has proved its worth as a defense system and the Merkava as a very safe platform for the crew when penetrated by ATGMs.

IDF's whole "modernization" focused on reducing casualties.

Report: Israeli ‘reserve’ soldiers are training Ukrainian troops

Israel's biggest-selling newspaper, Yediot Ahronot, revealed on 23 ⁠March that the security establishment is letting IDF reserve officers train the Ukrainians against Russia: «The instructors are reserve officers in the IDF, veterans of the Sayeret Matkal [General Staff Reconnaissance Unit] and other elite units, with a rich combat history.»

The Israeli team is «headed by Dany (a pseudonym), who served in an elite unit in the IDF» and first came to Ukraine in 1997 and was there in 2014. «The cover chosen for the activities of the Israeli fighters is to rescue Jews from various regions of Ukraine.» Another Israeli instructor in Ukraine, M., explains: «The prevailing assumption, which is gaining traction in government circles and in Ukraine's intelligence apparatus, is that this war could go on for a long time.»

More details to follow.

Why does Israel allow its ‘reserve’ officers to train the Ukrainians?

Yediot Ahronot tells that Israel has interests in both Ukraine and Russia, e.g. the business from 2010 of local production of Tavor rifles in Ukraine (Vinnytsia). After 2014, military exports and contracts were reportedly halted not to upset Putin.

However, there is resentment against Russia and Putin, as one of the Israeli instructors in Ukraine, G., explained: «If Ukraine falls, people who don't want democracy will raise their heads, it will provoke forces and demons around the world, and Putin will want to help them. (...) It's going to create trouble everywhere and I think especially in Israel.»

An Israeli official is anonymously quoted by Yediot: «The truth is that we're also quite fed up with the Russian story in Syria and how they're screwing us there all the time. True, there is coordination with them all the time, but we didn't get confused for a second - the Russian generals may be following their orders from the Kremlin, but they are not on our side. They are talking to us after engaging in intense military coordination with the Syrians, with the Iranians and Hezbollah in Syria. They are on their side completely and making life difficult for us and we must not forget that.»
