Meh: they are going to crash it.

So the object is to drift in a straight line? Interesting....... Also, what a bunch of dumbasses!

whats the problem? I thought the American governments policy was to arm terroists and disarm US citizens.

Yah, no problem, hadji is just helping his friends out.

If Obama had sons....

They're going to sell it to the Russians, or trade for AKs and RPGs.

Professional drifting is about getting as close to the edge of the road as possible, as fast as possible without losing control.



What those arab guys are doing is just snapping the car side to side to kick the back end out.

Nice to know we probably trained them to run it, maintain it and yes....... Left plenty of ammo behind.

And ya..... Iraq has no oil to run it.....

It will be interesting to see if they can:
a) Keep it fueled, they are thirsty beasts
b) Keep it running, they can be maintenance intensive
c) Keep it armed, M1 Main Gun tank rounds just don't show up in most ammo stockpiles

We trained the Iraqi Army to run them. Those dudes dropped their gear and ran like the French when ISIS showed up, so odds are they don't have a clue how to use it beyond basic operation.

I'd be more concerned with them analyzing it to find weak points they can exploit, or duplicating some of the advanced tech(targeting systems and comms, mostly).

All the M1s we sell have generations old electronics in them, only the US has M1s with the systems that we would be concerned about falling into the wrong hands.

The have more then US tanks.

True. The tanks in the video are on first gen M1070 Heavy Equipment Transporters, also US foreign military sales to Iraq (assuming).

they fire that beotch up, and start glowing on IR, and it will earn something loving from the sky that even a M1 can not survive..
