I wasn't disagreeing.

I'm just saying the Russians and all the people who buy their stuff talk a lot of smack about their capabilities.

Believe me. Until the 2006 Lebanon War, My M1 was viewed as inferior to the Merkava Mark IV and the T-80.

Some video gamers played 'such and such' game and the M1 was notoriously bad in it so in real life it must suck.

The only thing the Abrams sucks is fuel. Lots and lots of fuel. 1500 American horsepower worth of fuel.

The Russian RPG-29 will penetrate a Merkava's and a T-80/T-90's frontal armor. It damaged our armor but a buttoned up crew would survive a frontal or side armor hit and be able to eliminate the RPG grenadier.
