I can think of three machines which have totally dominated the battlefield for 30 years. Maybe longer than that.

The M1 Abrams, the F-15 and the Warthog. They are all getting pretty old. I wonder if their successors will be as good.

All three have been awesome alright. I have a feeling their successors will be pretty different though. Lord only knows what they have been working on for the last decade or so.

Don’t forget the M-2 ,0.5 Browning Heavy Caliber Machine Gun. The 50 caliber was mounted on tanks, half-tracks, jeeps and six to eight in P-47s and P-51s, Grumman Wildcats and F-6 Hellcats and just about anything else that flew, ran on the ground or sailed the seas. Ma Deuce demanded respect and she gets it!
