Soviet Tankers Laughed at the M1 Abrams Until It Killed Their T-72s From 3,000 Meters Away

Описание: For decades, Soviet intelligence dismissed the M1 Abrams as a "laughable" failure. They believed their T-72 tank, built for mass and brutal efficiency, was superior. They were wrong. This documentary reveals the secret technology—from revolutionary thermal sights to impenetrable Chobham armor—that the Soviets completely misunderstood. Discover how this intelligence failure led to one of the most one-sided battles in modern history: the M1 Abrams vs. the T-72 in the deserts of Iraq.
