The eternal war between armor and armor defeating munitions.
You know, watching this conflict, I wonder if the Russians fell for the same thing that armchair generals and never-served milspergs do.
They take the press releases and "expose's" about American munitions and vehicles at face value.
If they have been, thinking that we've been doing the same thing they do (Oh, the T-72 can TOTALLY go underwater to cross rivers!) and making it all look like it's better than it is.
They were shocked as fuck in 1991 when the equipment that everyone had spent 5 years ragging on how it'd explode in flame the minute it was deployed to anywhere but an armory or motorpool or airfield turned out to enable the US Army to fucking ROFLstomp the Iraqis.
I wonder if now they're all shocked again that "complete piece of shit" systems made in the USA are just running roughshod over everything.
