“Did you ever think if it was such a hot idea the M-1 and the German Leopard and the British Challenger would have them?”
Beats me. It must make sense to them or they wouldn’t do it.
They have no choice. Friend I have read histories on Soviet era weaponry and the rotten, stinking system that was the U.S.S.R. Ever hear of Viktor Blenko? He was the pilot who defected with the MiG-25 “Foxbat’’. Read some of the stuff I did and you would be amazed to find we were afraid of a rotten, piss poor , oppressive drunken military that literally couldn’t have stopped an argument let alone fight a war.
