Abrams u irackoj upotrebi

Do sad bi ocekivao da ovi iracani beze od abramsa ko djavo od krsta... kad ono

Kod:

A line of M1A1 Abrams tanks sit in the Iraqi sun as Soldiers of the 9th Iraqi Army Division receive instruction on the basics of tank operation April 11 at Forward Operating Base Hammer. The Iraqi government has purchased 140 Abrams tanks and these Soldiers will be among the first to become certified

Znaci 9ta divizija iracke vojske ce biti prva opremljna tenkovima Abrams M1A1... Radi se o broju od 140 tenkova...

Dobili su cak i "digitalne" uniforme

Eh sta ti je zivot... Kad bi ih samo Sadam mogao videti

USA se i definitivno povlaci iz Iraka i predaja Abramsa samo dodatno potvrdjuje donetu odluku. Sve ovo jako lici na postupak napustanja Vijetnama, kada je najmodernija tehnika predata trupama J. Vijetnama, da bi se ubrzo nakon odlaska amera kula od karata srusila. Za razliku od 'vijetnamizacije" ovi Abramsi su otisli za novac. Prvo su tim tenkovima ih potukli, a onda im iste te prodali.

Da li u kompletu ide i BVP Bredli?

Nisam siguran za bradly, proveri cu, ali za time nema ni potrebe, pa prodali su ima 5000-6000 hamera + veci broj drugih gusenicara

Impozantna kolicina, narocito kad se odnosi samo na jedan mesec. Ocigledno da su im uvalili najstarije Abramse, pitanje kako ce sa tim nositi tehnicka sluzba nakon odlaska Amera. Verovatno je i ostala oprema (kamioni) polovna, no Iracane sigurno niko nije ni pitao za zelje / potrebe.

Spirit ako mozes da iskopas kompletan spisak za 2008. bilo bi

Ma ce iskopamo sve informacije... a onda cu da dobijem nagradno putovanje o trosku CIA-e u jednom pravcu

Za sad jos malo slicica:







I kad ste vec pomenuli logistiku:

Spirit, ja u poslednje vreme nesto i ne pratim tamosnja desavanja, da li su objavili sta ce uraditi sa silnim T-72, koje su donirale razne drzave. Mozda kuvajtski princip gde uporedno, znamo, sluze M1 i M84AB

Sve sto je prezivelo rat 2003 ostavljeno je da propada po velikim grobljima tenkova... prosto neverovatno, ali istinito!
Trenutno koriste mali broj tenkova T-55 (ostatci stare armije) i T-72 (uglavnom "novi" tenkovi) +140 Abramsa M1A1... sve u svemu nekih 300 tenkova. Mada ce sa povlacenjem amera, taj broj vrtoglavo da raste, barem tako pise u receptu





prosto je neverovatno kako su toliku tehniku gurnuli u pustaru i zaboravili na nju




Ono za sta su nekada koristili tenkove, sad koriste Hamere...

ne znam otkud ti informacija da koriste samo 300 tenkova i da su sve svoje t-72 ostavili da trunu, ali svakako ne zvuci logicno da bi svoje ostavili a koristili one koje su dobili na poklon od madjarske (pretposlednja slika, bez bacaca dimnih kutija).
