The Russians are attempting to prove their latest tanks are more than a match for the Abrams. GD’s Abrams upgrade contracts have all been cancelled due to the fact the Army isn’t using the Abrams in Afghanistan. The Army is attempting to retire the tank but Congress won’t let them. This tank affair would be bad publicity for the US.

Is there a successor to Abrams out there? I haven’t kept up with armor stuff in a long time. Granted the most I ever did in that area was a lowly 19K in a NG outfit.

Tanks? Tanks are 20th century warfare.

A smart bomb (aerial or ground launched) costs a smidgen of what a tricked-out tank costs. Bye bye tank.
