| Why would the US waste its resources and and money and developing a new MBT when the current one is better than any 3rd army can field. All the MBT's that can match or surpass it are western and don't sell to the axies of evil.
The M-1 will most likely be around for the next 20 years in updated formates. The only reason I can see the need for new one MBT would be if the relationship between China and US degrade to that point of a new cold war.
Where the US should be spending money it is on personal infantry ppotection. Better body protect that doesn't lead to nasty wounds like the current vests due. |
