That's got to make the Kremlin shiver -- two Bradley's killing five T-72 tanks.

The US Army planned to procure a total of 1150 M1A2 SEP tanks but the US Army has decided to cancel future production of the M1A2 SEP from FY2004.

What's up with cancelling these purchases? Are they cancelling new production of the M1A2 SEP, or cancelling the upgrade package for the M1A1's?

Most of the time, new technology is much cheaper than the personnel that operate the equipment.

The Iraqis haven't seen anything yet. Just wait until the 4ID comes on the scene! The 4th is the most advanced infantry division in the world.

There might not be anything left for them to do.

Well, maybe Tikrit.

Because it's an outdated weapons system (it acquires targets too slowly).
