Default Re: MBT's Mk 1

A military.com article I read, I want to say last year, year before, said Iraq just doesn't like the Abrams because it's too complicated. They prefer the more simplistic style Russian tanks. Not because of the losses they sustained by abandonment and improper tactical useage. Saudi Arabia sustained the losses they did for improper tactical usage as well. But, neither of those two countries had top of the line Abrams, but even if they did, they still would have sustained the losses they did because of how they were deployed. Best tanks in the world will become flamers and rubble if not used properly. Look at what happened to the Leopard IIs. Need I say more! 😉
