Looks like they're trying to breathe more life into the old warhorse

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8LXe4ptgAY0

1200 hp engine , 120mm cannon , new suspension, 360 HD remote cameras, and 25mm remote gun??


Wonder what the whole deal costs versus an export M1?

Here'so a pdf with more pics. I wonder if the 25 mm could be used as a ADS or if it's point and shoot only?
Looks too small to  be a bushmaster cannon, cargo round perhaps?

That's a lot of effort to put lipstick on a pig.

Do we not have enough monkey model M1's to sell?

Isn't putting all that shit on that old turd only going to make its suspension and tread problems worse?

That does 0 to prevent this: Kurds smoking a Turk M60 today in Syria with a Milan (supplied by Germany to fight ISIS).

You see how those idiots give the enemy a perfect stationary shot from thousands of feet away on the highest point they could find? They did everything but paint the tank day-glo orange.

Real tankers don't do that.

I was hoping the Kurds had some anti-armor weapons. Hope they've got a steady supply too. Unfortunately for them it seems like the Turks are steadily gaining ground:

Hadji twitter says their current objective is a place called Manbij, which if I've got the pronunciation right sounds like something Turks would seek out. Then they're supposed to be pivoting to Al Bab in ISIS territory, but something tells me they're just going to keep hitting the Kurds.

The US spent months assisting the SDF and YPG/YPJ to retake Manbij and it will be handed over to the Turks...so the Turks can keep their corridor to Raqqa open.Joe Biden was just in Turkey to announce that the Kurds had to retreat.


The whole goddamn situation is a farce.All I can figure on US policy is that the DOD and DOS aren't on speaking terms while Obama's official policy is "I've  got under 150 days left,don't wanna hear about it".
