That Moped has an interesting brake system.
... what we need on our Southern border...
In the 70’s, didn’t we have Cav vehicles with this very concept in Europe, for slowing down a Soviet attack through Hof or Fulda?
And the West German Light Armored cars of the same period?
The worst thing you can do is underestimate your opponent.
Russia developed the best tank in WWII, the very good AK47, the cheap but effective RPG that still gives us fits, the Hind helicopter and a world class armored personnel carrier in the BTR series.
We developed arms to counter this military equipment and the Russians and Chinese will work to counter ours.
The Abrams is the best tank in the world, but any enemy would be developing countermeasures to defend against it. To think that no one would be able to do it is sticking your head in the sand.
No...its called a Target.
He will. UAVs have had eyes-on of the Abrams’ BN path-of-travel for hours. BN TOC will probably just request an Apache gunship to take it out. No sense in taking risks.
Against an Abrams, you stop, you die. The Abrams shoots on the move with amazing accuracy. Any opposing vehicle that cannot is likely toast.
