Secrets aren’t what they used to be......
Yeah well there’s a few hundred collecting dust and mice in Afghanistan on Habib’s List for real cheap.
Surprising that Biden isn’t trading this tech for more bribe money.
If we have no military and hardware in USA what do we defend US soil with?
It would be better to send them tank killers instead of tanks. Something with enough range to not be too vulnerable to the Russian tank guns.
As secret as the drone technology Barry Soetero kinda allowed to fly in to Iran?
Welp.
Between the Clinton Regime, the Obama / Biden Regime, the Pelousy Regime, ET AL, it is doubtful that anything is safe. There is some good news in that backward societies and tyrants do not engender a great deal of entrepreneurship and risk/experimentation. They might be able to to use things for a short time, but when things break down and need regular care, they fail. I remember several actions in the Middle East. The Air Force worked 24/7 to keep jet aircraft, large and small, in the air.
Our tank drivers are inside depleted uranium hulls? That doesn’t sound very safe.
As I stated on another thread, when the US sells or gives equipment away, they give the barebones stuff. Stuff that is outdated compared to what is currently in use by our troops.
For example, Lockheed sells a country 20 F16s, through a Foreign Military Sales contract. Everything has to be approved by the State and Defense Dept and the countries, for the most part, are not getting our advanced electronics, etc. They get an airframe and an engine.
The Israelis buy F15s and then equip them with their own stuff which is just as good, if not better, than what we put in ours.
Anywho, the same would go for the Abrams. But something tells me that all of that will be throw to the wind and they won’t care what they send. There might be some junior officer that raises his/her hand to bring this point up, but they will be dismissed and probably transferred for daring to question a decision from the CINC, Austin or Milley.
Then, the Russians get marching orders to get one of the tanks, intact, so they can ship it back to Moscow for some detailed inspections.
Send Joe’s Corvette, it’s fast!
They will reconfigure then into the same package that we sell to Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Those tanks would have a hard time up against modern Russian armor, nonetheless Russian ATGMs. Same goes for the Leopards, Challengers, and Merkava tanks om the way.
That’s why Biden is sending them ...
Secret armor you say? Just dial 1-800-HUNTERB
A comical post. Means one of three things. One, the person laughably must believe that the Russians do not already possess all the secrets from the highly classified process of building a tank. Face it, tank builders don’t guard the secrets of armor like the nsa is with a satellite.
Two, they must believe that the Ukrainians are so skilled that their tanks will be captured.
Three, they may have an expectation that normally Ukrainians will just sell that to the highest bidder.
At least two of these tacit admissions have to be true for this article to make any sense. Lol
‘who cares if it worked or not.’ Verhoven got it right way, way back. No wonder he doesn’t work in Hellyworld anymore.
