if the T-72 spotted the M-1 first, and got a flank shot, it could win.

If, if, if. OK. So the T-72 takes out one M1 for every 20 T-72's the M1 destroys. Not such great odds, IHMO.

I've heard that. Used to work with a guy who is a former M1 commander. He said they they were trained to aim for the T-72 turrets, that if you hit them right, they just pop off.

M1's facing a formidable opponent with high tech anti-tech weapons would be as useless as the T-72 versus US forces.

We like to brag but plenty of our M1's are getting wasted or damaged by the monkeys in Arabia.....I'd hate to be in one of those coffins facing a revitalized Chinese military.
