We aren't a whole lot better, first with the MUTT, then the HMMVW, but the Force Industries, Inc. Cougar has the power to once again put our name at the top. The M1 Abrams is a fine tank - it could be said there's no better - but tanks make up a small fraction of an army's vehicle resources.

Now the Russians, there's where it's at. They've got the T-90, the ZIL-131, and most of all, they've got the Mil-28 and the Kamovs. Compared to them, the AH-64 and the cheap German and British civilian helicopter converts (Bo-105, anyone?) look like utter junk. The only nation with an AH almost as good is the South Africans, they've got that big, nasty looking chopper down there... Cicada or something, big nasty brute. Too bad they only built 20something of them.

Wow, that's interesting.

Want to hear something about medieval archery?

Oh, and a funny fact is that there's one barrack in Germany where there have been several cases in which locals have kidnapped one of the training tanks and took them on a ride through the area? Nobody got hurt or anything, but several car drivers got a little bit of a shock when suddenly a tank was coming their way on the street.
