Maybe they’ll sell a few of them on ebay. I’ve always wanted an Abrams tank, and since our .gov won’t sell me one, perhaps the Greeks will! ;p
Damn!
I’ll take a redundant M1A1!
Just in time for their communist revolution.
These Tanks were bought with OUR tax dollars.
We should be allowed the right of first refusal on taking possession!
I’ll take a few off their hands.
Do they have some redundant M1028 120 mm anti-personnel canister cartridges to go with them?
Why didn’t they ask us Americans first? Who wouldn’t want a ‘redundant’ M1A1 tank??!?!!!
I, personally, can not afford too much gas, but damn, does it come equiped with all them tank rounds?
They are waiting the Free Shipping offer.
US Gov will use postal service.
1. Why are they “redundant”?
2. Why can’t they be used for any good parts or backups or for other future yet-known needs?
3. Why “free”?
Almost like dropping off planes off the aircraft carriers coming home from Japan. “We’ll never need them again.”
The inertial stabilization system costs about $500,000 smackers. I know a lot of DoD programs what wouldn’t mind having them free.
Are these tanks truly the M1A1 variant with the full chobham armor package? We’re just going to give that away, huh?
Greece isn’t ideal “tank country”, either. They’d be better off with some light wheeled armor. Something like the LAV-III or its cousing, the Stryker.
Hey Obama! I’ll take one or two and create jobs with them... How? EASY! and you can “de-mil” them by removing the gun barrel...
After WW2 there was a somewhat famous use for a Patton tank by a demolition company in the New York City area ... they’d just drive the tank through a building a few times and knock out all the supporting columns..
I’ll take delivery in DETROIT...
