He is not anti-Russia. He just believe that the latest US weaponry is the world's best. Which is a consensus view world wide.
The Chinese guys and the Pakistani buys believe in that. I guess only some Indians in here believe that US weaponry is #2 behind India. Totally bias and lack of logic.
I guess you missed the part were he said "
i hate Russians"
These are just add-on technologies to the chassis and turret, which still are redesigns or recycles of the T-72, which was rolled on by the Abrams in both Iraqi wars, though the former war was more impressive, since the A1 variant is an 80's platform, around the same time(Albeit a bit later) than the Soviet T-72.
Again most tanks the Abrams destroyed were not T-72's, and the tanks Iraq has lacked basic capabilities that Russian tanks had. Not to mention the Iraqi army was incompedent. Congradulations, to the Abrams for destroying T-55's and some Iraqi made tanks without night vision capabilities.
Doesn't need any, especially when the 125's from the T-72's can't penetrate the Depleted U layer to begin with.
Details of the M1 losses were given, including one where
25mm armour-piercing depleted uranium (AP-DU) rounds from an unidentified weapon
disabled a US tank near Najaf after penetrating the engine compartment. Another Abrams was disabled near Karbala after a rocket-propelled grenade
(RPG) penetrated the rear engine compartmen

As of March
2005, approximately
80 Abrams tanks were forced out of action by enemy attacks
23 M1A1s were taken out of service in the Gulf[10] and one of these losses resulted in crew deaths from Iraqi fire.

Western experts regard the Merkava as the best protected tank in the world. With that being said, the Merkava's got punished in Lebonon with Russian RPG's, so were does that put the Abrams?
What you see when you google that are in fact not losses to the enemy, but rather losses to friendly fire. More Abrams were destroyed by Mavericks and AGM-114's than useless RPG's which don't even follow a reasonably straight trajectory.
You're contridicting yourself. First, the Abrams armour can't be penatrated, then most Abrams were destroyed with Mavericks. FYI roadside bombs have taken out scores of Abrams, and you have to remember the blast from a road side bomb is
not concintrated like a 125 mm round is.
You know what Russian RPG's did to the Merkava, there shouldn't even be any debating what it can do to the Abrams.
And please explain why the American would bomb their own tanks via mavericks and AGM-114's. It's a fact that the US military salvages everything.
And back then, the Abrams only existed in the A1 variant, without all the state of the art electrics that the SEP version comes packaged in today. Thus, I say it was a fairly even match, especially when only ~200-300 of them were sent in to fight from the start, to outmatch and outgun more than 1:3 in the war. FYI, those were Abram kills alone, not air kills.
The actual numbers of Abrams M1 and M1A1 tanks deployed to the Gulf War (according to official DOD sources) are as follows:
A total of 1,848 M1A1 and M1A1
