I know the Abrams is a bad ass armor weapon, but its also 1970s tech.

And the 2020 Corvette is just a 1953 model.

Best to read the article before posting.

US has always stretched the life span of tanks.

The M60 we upgraded 3 or 4 times before we switch to the Abrahams

Didn’t the early version have problems with premature wear on the transaxle? I seem to recall a joke about the Army having their new tanks but wouldn’t drive them in parades because they didn’t want them wear them out.
