They got them to fight protesters, they don't run all that fast. Ask any Saudi tank driver in Bahrain.Everyone knows the Abrams the US exports are not the same Abrams they use themselves.
Everyone knows the Abrams the US exports are not the same Abrams they use themselves. For one, they do NOT share their gun stabilization technology.
Interesting fun fact: The main gun on the M1 Abrams can trace its lineage to the German 88 of WW2.
A soviet era RPG eh? First off, that Abrams was also a cold war version of the M1. It's been 35 years and the Abrams has been substantially upgraded and updated. Hell, it's much a superior tank today than the variant that went in during Desert Storm. Secondly, that was not a simple RPG. That was a 9M113 Konkurs anti-tank missile. Basically it was the Soviet version of the TOW missile used by the West.Apparently that tank was split open by surplus Soviet cold war RPG. The Abrams is as good as the F 35.

Those surplus Soviet tanks were also in Iraq. "Were" is the key word.
No you can't.
Yes I did. More than two hundred were destroyed in Iraq.
