There will be more surprises as the missile that manage to pass trough the anti-missile barrier. It is more a psychological effect rather than material effect hitting 1.5Km away form Kuwait's Emir palace.

Perhaps they have calibrate the guidance for more precise hits.

Another development is the Abrahams tank vulnerability spot. Any engine needs to cool down and get hot air out. This creates a weak spot at the rear of the tank in the cooling system area. The spot is not much of a concern on a classical tank battle, but by picking single tanks and hitting them by rocket propelled grandes can pose a new problem for the invaders.

I think the Iraqis tried to get night vision goggles from Syria to raid tanks concentrations on the dead of the night by hitting the cooling system and if not knocking them out at least disable the Abrahams tanks and running away.
