The T-72 is Russian tank, right? Why would a French part for a Russian tank say "made in France" in English. I would think the logical language would be be French, Russian or Arabic.

I couldn't even tell what the part was. It just appeared to be a metal plate. Can anyone shed any light on what that was suppose to be? To my untrained eye it looked pretty innocuous.

We found Exocet missles in Iraq that had English placards on them from the manufacturer. English is the language of the arms trade in general. The speed dials in the driver's compartment were not Arabic numerals and the instruments were labeled in English as well. Strange, but true.
