    Default M1 Abrams tank in terrorist hands

    Well, isn't that peachy.

    (Tank shows up fleetingly at one point, then a bit more steady around the 3 minute mark).

    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

    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).

    Yep, targeting and comms are what I'm worried about. We should have dropped a JDAM on it by now...

    Weren't the M1A1's we gave to the Iraqis severely watered-down in just about every department?

    Ah ha, that's where my tax money has been going. Arming more terrorists, isnt it a wonderful world.
