Reactive armor is a once off. It's helpful but, doesn't help once it's been used.
I like tanks.
What's the replacement for the Abrams?????
Only if we leave NATO.
The idea we can hole up in America while the rest of the world goes to hell, is extremely foolish, short sighted and, unrealistic.If we leave NATO tank battles might be a thing for Europe, but sure as hell not for us. The Abrams is probably going to fade away and get replaced by nothing before it ever gets into another major tank battle. The majority of the guys crewing the Abrams now were not even born yet the last time it was in major battle.

I agree. Do you realistically think they'd be allowed the time to given Putin's expansionism?The idea that Europe can use us to provide their defense in perpetuity so they can spend on other things is 1000 times more foolish, short-sighted and unrealistic. If we pull out of NATO the western Europe powers would just have to spend more and build their own tanks.
I see your bolo and raise you a mark 4 OGRE

I had part of the Fulda Gap for fire planning when I was a Forward Observer and Fire Support Sergeant. Of course that was the 80s.Do you realistically believe that Putin is going to roll his tanks through the Fulda Gap...
