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
I worked for GD on the tank. The Army (not the politicians) think the tank has been overcome by air technology. The logistics of maintaining the tanks is too cumbersome and expensive and they are becoming more target than asset.
The tanks we’re talking about are worn out. But with 400 of them Greece should be able to cobble together 150 working units with spares for 10 years.
Redundant only because of 0bummer’s scaled-down military. Not redundant if needed in the future.
