Of course RT mades as allways completely inaccurate and idiotic assumption that this is vehicles graveyard. However it is not, it is storage facility, and these vehicles are not abandoned, but placed there for long term storage. There are several such facilities in USA, however Sierra Army Depot...

http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a608067.pdf Very interesting document. It says that USMC have 442 M1A1 MBT's, and all were upgraded to M1A1FEP standard. Tanks are overhauled and modernized in quantity of 30-40 per year. 442 MBT's in fleet, that's a lot, most western Europe states...

So we have confirmation that many of us were right about Challenger 1, and this also means that Challenger 2 probably have similiar armor layout.

M1A2SEPv1's and M2A3's from USA, and our BMP-1's belonging to 7th Coastal Defence Brigade, hopefully soon BMP-1's will be replaced by our new IFV, these things are archaic!

They didn't had time to repaint them, this unit and their vehicles normally are stationing in desert and arid/semi-arid regions of USA.

Abramsy strzelajÄ… na drawskim poligonie US Army armor company in Poland. In general US Army currently have 2 armor battalions in Europe, first battalion is in Germany, second battalion is spread in Poland (1x company) and baltic states (2 or 3 companies, one company in each state)...

Yeah, "bad firing", especially that they hit with 1st shot almost every target they aims at. You people are just blind and don't understand that targets won't explode and that training ammo is inert which means no explosion. Targets are just cardboard or paper made, you won't see the hit...

First time in history, US Army will train in Poland using M1A2 MBT's, M2A3 IFV's and M88A2 ARV's.

Weapon systems cost are not fixed and depend on many factors. How many vehicles were ordered, how many at what time can be manufactured, if they are exported or for domestic use, and so on. So it's hard to say really. And USA have besides these 2000 M1A2SEPv2's, also 5400 other variants of...

But now think how many weaker tanks are worth better tanks? What if 1 Leclerc is worth 4 Ariete? What if 1 M1A2SEPv2 is worth 10 T-55's? And still, look at one of my previous posts, NATO members and their allies actually have more tanks thank rest of threats and potential competition...

Ok, this is a terrorysts propaganda video, so watch it on your own responsibility. However around 31:00 minute, there are filed attacks on Iraqy Army armored fighting vehicles, there is some footage of attacks on Iraqi Army, American made M1A1M Main Battle Tanks, with IED's, RPG's and even...

Well, it proves that Japanese Type 10 does not have special armor protecting turret sides, but there are some sort of storage boxes.

Tank as a weapon system is a cheap weapon system, cheap and effective. Tank ammunition is one of the cheapest you can find, and also very effective. Tanks do not burn as much fuel as for example aircrafts or navy vessels, and do not cost such astronomicly high prices as them. Tanks can...

Maybe because there is no new fire control system or stabilization? ;) The only really new element is new sight Sosna-U and commander paronamic sight, nothing else.

Depends on vehicle but... if the gun breach is opened and ammunition is scattered inside crew compartment it is possible... if ammunition have fully combustible propelant charge cases. However take a note that this incident is staged propaganda stunt. ;)

Currently NATO and it's allies have largest tank fleet in the world. USA alone as a single country operates largest tank fleet of ~7400-8000 M1 Abrams tanks in various variants, US Army operates ~2000 M1A2SEP, Army National Guard operates ~2000 M1A1SA/M1A2SEP and USMC operates ~400 M1A1FEP +...

Yes, I am not impressed, why should I be? because you say so? Dunno, there is really not much info avaiable about Chinese nomenclature, and all this secrecy with vehicle codenames is just silly. In my country? Depends what you ask, but our military for example can and do reject products that...

Only ZTZ-98, ZTZ-99, ZTZ-99G and ZTZ-99A1 can be considered as direct "copies", however they are not direct copies, they use only some ideas and components copied from T-72 series, like general front hull design and autoloader + ammunition storage design. Suspension can also be probably...

Exactly the same gun mantled design, which is logical because Chinese 125mm ZPT-98 gun is a direct copy of Russian 2A46M. Besides this you can read the whole thread, I am tired of repeating the same stuff all over again for ignorants without aby knowledge in this subject... All western...
