 Israel will not repeat the mistakes made by Russia in tank battles in Ukraine. Israel's military leadership has vowed to learn from the mistakes made by Russia's commanders as it gears up to send tanks into war, the commander of its armoured corps said in a recent interview according to Insider publication. We saw how the Russians fought in Ukraine and the mistakes they made. Brigadier General Hisham Ibrahim told the Economist. They fought there in a single corps fashion, instead of using combined arms tactics, he said of Russia's tank deployments. Ibrahim said he's been closely watching events unfold in Ukraine over the last 20 months. In February 2022, Russia sent more than 3,000 tanks into Ukraine in the hopes of quickly capturing Kiev. What happened next is well documented. Ukrainians then underestimated armed forces were able to pick off Russia's lumbering tank columns before they could reach the capital. Both tanks, Ibrahim said, have been trained on combined arms tactics for several years now. This means operating in close cooperation with infantry, artillery and air support and being highly coordinated by intelligence rather than being sent in alone in formations, he said. We no longer see the tank as being capable of doing everything, Ibrahim told the outlet. The battlefield has changed, it's much more crowded and built up. The battle in Ukraine has provided plenty of lessons on both sides of the present conflict between Israel and Hamas. Drone footage has circulated showing a strike on an Israeli Mervakar 4 tank in a move that appears to be taken straight from the Ukrainian playbook. Ibrahim told the economists that recent strikes on tanks caused some damage but did not destroy the vehicles.
