Are the links region restricted perhaps?

It requires access permission, which it says you can receive via e-mail, but the e-mail is never received.

Ukrainans keeping the spirit, If I almost close my eyes and look far away, that Abrams looks like a T-80.

Man, kinda want the Ukr mod M1 slathered in K1, it sounds like a riot. Hull roof extension getting more armor against CE is interesting.

I would separate the flir from the Sep to the SepV2. Although it’s not currently applicable in game, the SepV2 featured the upgraded Block 1B flir . Raytheon and the Army don’t provide too much insight into the specifics of the upgrade beyond basics.

“ Block 1 second generation FLIRs will improve Block 0 performance and put
more capability in the hands of war fighters. The new system generates a
clearer image with more scene contrast, less jitter and higher resolution.”

Well this seems to back up the idea that DU hulls were planned to be added to M1A2 SEPs (including retrofits of M1A1s) starting in 2006.

Oh yeah, I saw that pop up too, isn’t that the one the Polish were using for testing though? based on the title anyways)

Poland would’ve been part of the warsaw pact in 1986, though. It’d be the peak of foolishness to let them test the armor on a brand new cutting edge tank while they’re under the iron boot of your enemy.

The title is just in polish for some reason, that’s definitely American test footage dug out of archives.
