Still wouldn’t give them a competitive 12.0 though, seeing as the M1A2 is now 11.7 lol.

Frohe Weihnachten! 🎄

But it’s just a standard M1A2 in downgraded export configuration?
Wouldn’t make sense to add to UK top tier

I don’t think most people who bring this brochure up are being serious

Doesn’t look like he gets any CM’s too, poor guy got uptiered

Pardon me to question but I doubt Turkey has the same reeds as we do over there lol

Did they even trial it? I was under the impression GDLS was only marketing the abrams to UK. But no plan was in place to entertain the idea.

Merry Christmas to everyone here! Hope you have a good day :)

Actually, Abrams was quite heavily pushed for UK adoption.
Even local production was offered.

Replacing the Chieftain - The Tank Museum.

^ That was political, but from military assessment side, it was quite good, but the turbine’s fuel economy was the main concern as well as the overall programme costs being the most expensive of the lot.
Even slightly more than the newest Leclerc.

Still boggles me, why they fully terminated the MBT-80 project instead of halting it. They could’ve resumed/pursued it after the Shir-2 adoption.
