Yemeni's Soviet-Era Missiles Hunting S. Arabia's Abrams Tanks

[Azeri440]

add to the list, Abrams junk which U.S sold to Iraq and so far several ones has been destroyed by ISIS terrorists.

LOL , Iraqis are useless at operating their tanks , they keep their tanks in the middle of the open field and not moving an inch

same thing Arabs are doing with their Abrams , plus ATGM to ammo storage will take out any tank

Abrams is not garbage , the crew makes up the tank

 

[Pandora]

The crew survived which show durability in my opnion. We have seen tanks being taken down by mortars so AT is specialised weapon. Currently only superiority Coalition has over Houthis is air power. As long as they dont get their hands on SAMs all will be good for Saudis

Can a 40 year old konkurs take out a Zulfiqar? Most likely yes. Does that mean it is a bad tank? Going by your logic the answer would be yes.

 

[Mustang06]

Must be those export models without that DU layer I guess!

first of all, our tank yet to be seen in the battlefield, secondly at least we didn't pay millions of dollars for it, thirdly we know it's weaknesses, we wont have the delusion of ridding the most powerful tank in the world!

Well I hope you are aware that zulfaqar is a more than 20 years old tank.

My point still stands, just because something can be destroyed doesn't mean it is junk. I think you bring up a good point "we didn't pay millions for it", are tanks even needed today? Why not just use 8x8 armored vehicles armed with 105mm's and ATGM's?

Abrams came out in the 80's.

1992 and honestly you can't compare a 30ton tank with a 100 ton tanks. And also I checked it seems the tanks USA exported to the Arab countries lack the depleted uranium layer.

 

[MilSpec]

people who think Konkurs is a soviet era obsolete system couldn't be more wrong. Most exported variant is the 9M113M version with tandem WH, it will go through 800 mm f RHA like hot knife through butter. This is an exceptionally potent ATGM.

 

[WaLeEdK2]

Were the Abrams degraded?

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

Today's battlefield is getting more and more dangerous. Welcome to the drone future.

nope , Abrams actually came out in 80s

Were the Abrams degraded?

Yes , they don't have the DU (depleted uranium) layers in the armor

 

[Super Falcon]

I always said US is not a country to count kn they doble cross you even our F 16 which we bought recently come with some virus jn its system when US thinks they activate virus on our F 16 computer systems im wrong or may bd something other things but better we rely on our selves

KSA completely rely on USA which is very scary most of their weapons wont work

 

[Hack-Hook]

well a1m1 come in 1982 but here we are talking about a1m2 .but its not important the problem here is that USA sold Arab countries Abram without standard protection. Don't knew why Maybe they still thinks Arabs leaders someday may start another war with Israel.

 

[Shabi1]

What are Saudi options to upgrade their tanks with active counter measure systems (something similar to Varta) and ERA armor.
