“I can’t see anything through this dust, any luck through the IR?” Nazari asked Said, who was positioned next to him with one of the company’s Milan ATGM.
“Nothing Sergeant, all I can see is the hot dust,” replied Said.
A few moments later a tank loomed out of the dust as a spray of
machine-gun rounds thumped into the front of the rise. Nazari ducked as
Said fired the Milan, sending a missile towards the tank. It was
obscured by a flash, before it emerged again, clearly outlined against
the dust and smoke.
“That’s a Merkava!” Nazari exclaimed as another Israeli tank joined the first.

A few short hours after the Iranians and Soviets had launched a new
offensive against Iraq, Syria (Iran and the Soviet Union’s ally)
launched an attack into the Israeli occupied Golan Heights. With Israeli
forces already mobilised and alert, they weather the Syrian storm,
reluctantly giving ground while inflicting heavy losses on the Syrian
armoured units, before marshalling their forces to counter-attack. The
Israeli Defence Forces, or IDF, are a well-trained and equipped force
ready to defend their hard-won territory. They are equipped with tanks
and weapons of their own design, as well as equipment supplied by their
allies.
