[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ritten: [qb]Them [i]Israelian's[/i] know how to fight.... the problem maybe with the [i]Egypti's[/i], with us selling them the rights to the M-1. Since an M-1 has a hell of a time blowing up an M-1 the Merkava(sp?) might have a tad of a problem....[/qb][/QUOTE]Don't worry about little things like that, there's no way the US was going to export top notch technology to a so-so friendly country like Egypt, especially in the area of material science (Chobham armor). The M1s Egypt received are most certainly watered-down, export versions. During Desert Storm, M1s were blowing the crap out of each other in friendly fire incidents. I wish I had bookmarked that report, but oh well. Tom Clancy might have said differently, but people don't faith in what he says anymore. The Merkava was designed specifically for desert operations, and has since then been improved dramatically. I really would put it equal to the M1A2 overall. No more target practice like what happened with the Iraqi T-72s.
