they are effective against unarmed or lightly armed forces, such as police, but against a well trained and equipped force like Zahal, they are scrap waiting to happen.
in an urban environment, they are vulnerable even to the above forces, suitably armed with flame weapons and small arms. from the picture, the six cells towards the rear of the top hull look suspiciously like fuel tanks, which Ivan has often had a habit of mounting on the exterior of his AFV's.
if they are, fire a couple of pistol rounds into the tanks to create leaks, then add an ignition source, either a flame weapon, a road flare, or similar.

bottom line, they are vulnerable.
The Norwegian Army called the BTR a "self-propelled coffin"; the 0.39 inch thick hull don't protect much against mines.

Without a shot fired at those tin coffins, they will be out of the game in no time from mechanical failures.
