World War III in Europe: Imagine if the Soviet Union Invaded NATO? This Simulator Does.

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* It would have been awful--and bloody. *From three decades distant, it is easy to forget that the late 1980s were the high point of the World War That Never Was. Both sides, oblivious to the imminent fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, had deployed the last cutting-edge technology of the era. Many of the weapons that would have clashed in the Fulda Gap or the north German plain, did go on to fight in Desert Storm, and could fight again in Ukraine or Poland: Abrams, Challenger, Leopard and T-80 tanks; Bradley and BMP inf... more »

Why Russia, China or North Korea Does Not Want to Fight America's M1 Abrams Tank

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * And it just keeps getting better. *The development of the M1 Abrams is a classic study into how competing requirements can collide with one another. The trifecta of tank power, firepower, protection and mobility all required some level of compromise. The Army was willing to bend some requirements, particularly with regards to weight, to get a good tank instead of being unbending in a vain search for the perfect tank. The result is the most battle-tested main battle tank today, a tank that, with periodic upgrades, has stood the test of time.* The M1 ... more »

The Leclerc is a lot more fuel efficient than many other tanks. It can travel 340 miles before refueling, compared to 260 for the Abrams.

Ryan-Trump Tax Bill Reorders America's National Priorities-- National Suicide
