Eastern Bloc Tanks, yummmm. Fly boys love targeting them.

See thread on retreat from Basra and all Kosovo threads.

Go Ugly Early! A-10's, Apache Longbows.

No organized ground force can survive under the umbrella of the E-7 Joint Stars.

Ardennes 2030..or some other European name?

India and Pakistan smoking ruin....Chi Coms...Iran..some Stans and other Muslim nations....mech advance toward Israel.

The T-72 onward series see's significant upgrading from several nations as your main article idents.
This tank and its low silloette do work in capable hands.
Obviously..*Arabs and Tanks do not work,
Europeans and tanks....possibly a different story..especially if they have aquire/react targeting in comparability with U.S. tanks.

4 Shermans to drop a Tiger in WW-2..or is that figure higher?
How many upgraded T-72's ..and..used properly..to knock an M1A1 out?

RPG-29 can light an Abrams up.
U.S. has some work to do.
The numeric thingy..there's alot of T series tanks...and they are still cranking out new versions.



Chi-Com Type 98...home built 3rd Gen MBT Ya..its got some glaring faults...clearly..cooking inside or getting wounded is not a concern for PLA.
Yet..if they have built a high kinnetic smoothbore 120mm Gun..which can fire D.U...thats amazing for sitting just 10 yrs and watching.

They are learning quick...have read rumor mill stuff that they are indeed interested in larger caliber bore gun barrels...150mm higher.

CAS rules...T whatever's go up in flames.
yet..if CAS is not around to attrit......gulp!
