The tanks are simply mobile pillboxes to keep crowds under control. But if they’re used that way and the Muslim Brotherhood gets the new Iranian, Russian or Chinese anti-tank weapons we shall find the Abram’s vulnerable parts. (Hint, it’s in the back, below the turret.)

Same old, same old...US puts all it’s (advanced) eggs in one basket (case) state. That state implodes, America’s enemies get US secrets. How many times has this happened already. Give the stuff to Israel...they know how to use and KEEP it.
