The New Republic identifies it as the AT14 "Kornet". I buy this. The Sagger is totally incapable of knocking out an M1-A2. An M1 - maybe. But not anything after the HC variant. That's a bad sign. Check out Gregg Easterbrook's _The Best Laid Plans_ column in TNR. He makes some (fairly obvious) mistakes, but Easterbrook is one of the best journalists in America, and is fairly knowledgeable about the military, so it's still one of the best sources out there.
Any AT weapon can knock out an Abrams if it hits the right place...but I disagree that a Sagger can take out an M1 frontally.
But the AT-14 is a bit more powerful (1200mm RHA penetration compated to 410mm RHA of penetration) so it a credible threat.
