back onto the tank topic...
i believe that, regardless of what tank is "better" than the other, it doesnt outpace others to the point that anybody inside will annihilate anything opposing it. the tank crew inside is what truly counts. Although American did achieve fire superiority in Iraq, it was our tank crews and their training that won the conflict. the Iraq army made of conscripts and Syrian mercenaries, had low morale after the first thousand were destroyed. many people were citizen soldiers, being forced to fight for a cause that was unclear even to top brass.
as i begin to ramble, just get the point - its the man (or women), NOT the machine, that win wars
