Having a main battle tank is a very small piece of the puzzle. They require tons of maintenance, and require tons of supplies to operate and engage in battle. These functions require skilled/trained people and a huge logistical supply line.
Then you’re looking at all the skills it takes to operate such sophisticated technology in battle. Most of these ISIS guys can’t read or write.
So in the end a tank in the wrong hands is a 60 ton lawn ornament.
It would seem to me a 60 ton vehicle moving down some desert road toward Syrah would make an easy target were one of the opinion to do so.
If ISIS has US-trained turncoats from Iraq, they might have some expertise.
True. But who says its going to be ISIS guys inside the tanks when they are used against the Syrian Army.
They estimate that there are 500 citizens of England fighting for ISIS. God knows how many Americans from the likes of Dearbornistan et al.
