OH YES! During the start of Korean War Counter-Offensive
the North Koreans used soldiers who place Anti-Tank Mines
on their chests and ran from structures along the roads
into the sides of our tanks. It worked!
The original suicide bomber. The Hamas will start to use
IED within the next couple of days. IED are their only defense against tanks.
I hadn't heard that about the North Koreans. I guess we'll find out how the Pali Pink Mist Brigade fared when we turn on the news tomorrow morning.
The tanks we were using in Korea were outmatched by the opposition in WW2, much less the Soviet advances during and after the war.
FYI, that tactic didn't work against the Soviet T-72s in Afghanistan (except, again, if someone managed to blow off a track). It hasn't worked against M1s in Iraq, and I really, really doubt that it'll work against the Merkava Mk 4s that the Israelis have specifically built for urban warfare and this kind of fighting.
