So Much for that Top Secret Chobham Armor.

I am sure the Red Chinese are developing countermeasures using armor they get form ISIS as we speak.

Maybe not. M1 armor packages are modular. Egyptian-built M1’s probably lack the depleted uranium layer. So who can say what version the ragheads have.

Actually, Chobham is a NATO secret. The export versions of the Abrams DO NOT have Chobham, they just have rolled homogenous steel. Even the Abrams that Australia bought from us don’t have Chobham.
