Well ... as has been shown again and again ... there's no such thing as an invulnerable system. And not being invulnerable hardly means useless. A PzKpfz II (the WW II light tank with a 20mm) would be an absolute terror on a battlefield that lacks any sort anti-armor weapons.

Well, looking at the number of crewmen killed vs wounded one would assume the vast majority of those tank kills aren't catastrophic, simply because if they were there would be more dead. A mobility (or other such "out of action") kill is usually repairable so it's hardly a destroyed tank.

I assume the UAV and Air Strike hits are friendly fire?

I'm not sure about the UAV strike, but the air strike was conducted by the Russian air force. Accidentally or "accidentally"...

It seems to me that the arms trade & covert supply of arms seems to be booming, and there not just getting the oudated stuff anymore.
Hezbollah for example seem to have drones now to direct missile attacks. I would not be surprised to find some terrorist groups have more ATGMs than some of the smaller European countries armies do.

Judging what you can find on youtube, you may be correct

There are plenty of videos showing untrained "users" scoring hits with ATGMs but none showing the misses. I wonder how many are fired and miss / are countered?

OR is it really that easy to kill a MBT?

Killing an MBT, with a modern anti tank missile probably is relatively easy, if the crew are poorly trained or not alert and the tank either lacks supporting troops, or those troops are poorly trained or not alert.

Also who knocked out the Turkish tanks. My understanding is that the Turks are much more interested in fighting the Kurds than the so called 'Islamic State' types? From what I have seen and read of the Kurdish Peshmerga fighters they seem to be pretty switched on.
